Mapping the whole region sounds very inefficient, and also possibly 
making the cma region not usable by others.

AFAIU SDM845 does not have any context banks for SDSP. All new SoCs 
after 865 have moved to having a context bank.

For such cases (w/o cb) we can make fastrpc_session_alloc use channel 
context device instead of session ctx device. As this is going to be an 
issue when we try to allocate buffers dynamically for that cb.

In the newer platforms (from 865) there is support for iommu and context 
banks on SDSP, so the existing code flow is identical for both ADSP and 
SDSP.


We should be careful not to break newer platfroms while adding support 
to this.

Both myself and Ekansh thought about this and see that the better way to 
add support to this is by

1. extend fastrpc_session_alloc() to support zero context banks.

2. add flags to mark this and allocate meta data using secure allocation 
when its required based on this flag.

3.  buffer allocation can either go with 2 or with a new flag coming 
from userspace.

vmperms need to be a bit field.
