What's difficult is that how to handle the undocumented register area.
If we get rid of undocumented/reserved register area, then the number
of banks in SMMU/MC would increase unnecessarily. But practically we
can handle MC/SMMU multi register banks by just identifying MC/SMMU
portion with checking undocumented ones.
