With SoC wide DMA mask of 40-bit, the mappings for entire IOVA space can't be specified in the PAXBv2 PCIe RC of SoC. The holes in IOVA space needs to be reserved to prevent any IOVA allocations in those spaces.
reserved-dma-region property is added to specify the ranges which should never be mapped and given to devices sitting behind.
