This is reserving an object in the objects array. The object is filled
once reservation is done. Maybe I can call it alloc_obj_ser or
alloc_entry_ser.

Basically with current naming there are "serialization objects" in
"serializatoin object arrays". The object is a "base" type with
"inherited" types for iommu, domain etc. I will add explanation of all
this in the ABI header.

Maybe we can name it to:

struct iommu_obj_ser;
struct iommu_obj_array_ser; or struct iommu_obj_ser_array;

Then for reserve/alloc, we use names like "next_obj_array" and
"curr_obj_array"?

Agreed. Will remove this.

Will add a table in the header as you suggested.

Agreed.

I will update it to,

&flb_obj->curr_iommu_domains->domain_array[idx]

Agreed.

Yes, we do an initial allocation of arrays for each object type and then
later allocate more as needed. The flb_obj holds the address of
currently active array.

I will add this explanation in the header.

I will move these.
