IORT code has the same issue (ie it reserves all ITS regions) and I do
not know where a property can be added to describe those ranges (IORT
specs ? I'd rather not) in ACPI other than the IORT tables entries
themselves.

It could be but if we throw ACPI into the picture we have to knock
together Hisilicon specific namespace bindings to handle this and
quickly.
