The problem here is that the values of it_reserved_{start,end} are not
necessarily valid. I mean, on iommu_table_reserve_pages() the values
are stored however they are given (bit reserving is done only if they
are valid). 

Having a it_reserved_{start,end} value outside the valid ranges would
cause find_next_bit() to run over memory outside the bitmap.
Even if the those values are < tbl->it_offset, the resulting
subtraction on unsigned would cause it to become a big value and run
over memory outside the bitmap.

But I think you are right. That is not the place to check if the
reserved values are valid. It should just trust them here.
I intent to change iommu_table_reserve_pages() to only store the
parameters in it_reserved_{start,end} if they are in the range, and or
it_offset in both of them if they are not.

What do you think?

Thanks for the feedback!
