Look at this function. There is no single word about sva except
in the function name.

sva is just one user of global pasids.

when a driver supports sva it has to always use global pasids even
for non-sva usages like dma pasid.

but this doesn't mean that we should build the API around sva.

it's really about global pasids.

let's just call it clearly as iommu_alloc_global_pasid(min, max).

Then we can define a wrapper iommu_reserve_global_pasid(pasid)
as iommu_alloc_global_pasid(pasid, pasid).

for PASID#0 driver calls iommu_reserve_global_pasid(0).

for dma pasid driver calls iommu_alloc_global_pasid() to get a random
one instead of reserving pasid#1.

this would be future proof when the same driver starts to allocate
more pasids for other usages e..g siov.
