This option is unique to x86 PV dom0's, but it is not sensible to have a catch-all which blindly maps all non-RAM regions into the IOMMU. The map-reserved option remains, and covers all the buggy firmware issues that I am aware of. The two common cases are legacy USB keyboard emulation, and the BMC mailbox used by vendor firmware in NICs/HBAs to report information back to the iLO/iDRAC/etc for remote remote management purposes. A specific advantage of this change is that x86 dom0's IOMMU setup is now consistent between PV and PVH. This change is not expected to have any impact, due to map-reserved remaining. In the unlikely case that it does cause an issue, we should introduce other map-$SPECIFIC options rather than re-introducing this catch-all. Signed-off-by:
