[PATCH v3 00/11] DDW + Indirect Mapping

[Leonardo Bras]

Changes since v2:
- Some patches got removed from the series and sent by themselves,
- New tbl created for DDW + indirect mapping reserves MMIO32 space,
- Improved reserved area algorithm,
- Improved commit messages,
- Removed define for default DMA window prop name,
- Avoided some unnecessary renaming,
- Removed some unnecessary empty lines,
- Changed some code moving to forward declarations.
