Since the iommu portion of the email bounced I figured I would fix
that and provide some additional info.

I added some instrumentation to the kernel to dump the resources found
in iova_reserve_pci_windows. From what I can tell it is finding the
correct resources for the Memory and Prefetchable regions behind the
root port. It seems to be calling reserve_iova which is successfully
allocating an iova to reserve the region.

However still no luck on why it isn't showing up in reserved_regions.
