Currently those are iommu internal types. When defining the new
ioctl we need think about what are necessary presenting to the user.

Probably just a list of reserved regions plus a flag to mark which
one is SW_MSI? Except SW_MSI all other reserved region types
just need the user to reserve them w/o knowing more detail.
