I can make these changes but I suspect this series will go via IOMMU
tree, let me know how you want to handle it.

I'd suggest we also want a comment here to clarify that we're currently
assuming straightforward topologies where all mappings for a given root
complex/named component target the same ITS group. Otherwise we're
going

to need somewhat more logic to iterate the its_node processing over
every mapping (or every alias in the PCI case), but avoid creating
duplicate entries.
You have a point and we have time to update the code. Short of reserving
all ITS regions for every device that maps to one at least, we could (even
pre-compute instead of looking it up on the fly) create a list of ITS
identifiers a given IORT node may map to and use that to reserve the
regions.
I am trying to understand the use case scenario discussed here.
Apologies if it is a dumb query. 

My understanding is that, it is possible to have a PCI  RC iort node
mapped to multiple ITS group nodes.  That is perfectly fine and given
a dev input RID we can identify the ITS group the device points to
using - iort_node_map_id().

But the above discussion seems to suggest that there might be
situations where we have to go through all the mapped ITS groups and
identify all the ITSs associated with the RC.  Clearly I am missing
something.
I reckon Robin was referring to this:

Does this help ?

Thanks,
