This can't work reliably - reserve_iova() will (for good reason) merge
any adjacent or overlapping entries, so any unmap is liable to free more
IOVA space than actually gets unmapped, and things will get subtly out
of sync and go wrong later.

The more general issue with this whole approach, though, is that it
effectively rules out userspace doing guest memory hotplug or similar,
and I'm not we want to paint ourselves into that corner. Basically, as
soon as a device is attached to a guest, the entirety of the unallocated
IPA space becomes reserved, and userspace can never add anything further
to it, because any given address *might* be in use for an MSI mapping.

I think it still makes most sense to stick with the original approach of
cooperating with userspace to reserve a bounded area - it's just that we
can then let automatic mapping take care of itself within that area.

Speaking of which, I've realised the same fundamental reservation
problem already applies to PCI without ACS, regardless of MSIs. I just
tried on my Juno with guest memory placed at 0x4000000000, (i.e.
matching the host PA of the 64-bit PCI window), and sure enough when the
guest kicks off some DMA on the passed-through NIC, the root complex
interprets the guest IPA as (unsupported) peer-to-peer DMA to a BAR
claimed by the video card, and it fails. I guess this doesn't get hit in
practice on x86 because the guest memory map is unlikely to be much
different from the host's.

It seems like we basically need a general way of communicating fixed and
movable host reservations to userspace :/
