Yeah,  thanks for your suggestion，but as Michael and Jason Wang said, 
before iommufd is ready, we may need to make vDPA work well on software 
managed MSI platforms.
To achieve that, basically we have two ways:

1. export iommu_get_resv_regions, and get regions device by device.
2. introduce iommu group, get regions by iommu_get_group_resv_regions, 
which already exported.
