access reserved memory.Therefore,it is necessary to increase
the analysis of acpi device in RMRR and establish a mapping
for this device.

The first patch adds interfaces for detecting ACPI device
in RMRR and in order to distinguish it from pci device,
some interface functions are modified.

The second patch adds support for probing ACPI device in RMRR.
In probe_acpi_namespace_devices(),add support for direct mapping
of ACPI device and add support for physical node of acpi device
to be NULL.


Thanks for your patches. As I explained in the previous reply, RMRRs
were added as work around for certain legacy device and we have been
working hard to fix those legacy devices so that RMRR are no longer
needed. Any new use case of RMRR is not encouraged.

By the way, I guess the problem you are facing can still be handled well
under current RMRR mechanism by simple putting the device in the
ACPI/ANDD table. It's worth trying.

Best regards,

v2->v3:
- Add the blank line between functions.
- Make dmar_acpi_insert_dev_scope() bool,change the 1/0 to true/false
  and add a comment explaining.
- Delete unused initialization.
- if dmar_acpi_insert_dev_scope() always returns zero,will not
  call dmar_rmrr_add_acpi_dev().
- Use a proper error code.
- Use if(!pdev).
- Use goto unlock instead of mutex_unlock().
