iommu: Introduce IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT_RELAXABLE reserved memory regions

Introduce a new type for reserved region. This corresponds
to directly mapped regions which are known to be relaxable
in some specific conditions, such as device assignment use
case. Well known examples are those used by USB controllers
providing PS/2 keyboard emulation for pre-boot BIOS and
early BOOT or RMRRs associated to IGD working in legacy mode.

Since commit c875d2c1b808 ("iommu/vt-d: Exclude devices using RMRRs
from IOMMU API domains") and commit 18436afdc11a ("iommu/vt-d: Allow
RMRR on graphics devices too"), those regions are currently
considered "safe" with respect to device assignment use case
which requires a non direct mapping at IOMMU physical level
(RAM GPA -> HPA mapping).

Those RMRRs currently exist and sometimes the device is
attempting to access it but this has not been considered
an issue until now.

However at the moment, iommu_get_group_resv_regions() is
not able to make any difference between directly mapped
regions: those which must be absolutely enforced and those
like above ones which are known as relaxable.

This is a blocker for reporting severe conflicts between
non relaxable RMRRs (like MSI doorbells) and guest GPA space.

With this new reserved region type we will be able to use
iommu_get_group_resv_regions() to enumerate the IOVA space
that is usable through the IOMMU API without introducing
regressions with respect to existing device assignment
use cases (USB and IGD).
