Our driver makes use of RMR[1], so we need these APIs to retrieve the reserved
memory region in the driver. The device will store the traced data to
the rmr memory and the drivers needs to know the memory address for reading
the data. Due to some hardware limitation, the device can only use direct
mapping for DMA so we need RMR when the iommu is presented and the policy
of the iommu domain is not passthrough.
