This is a single patch (V2) adding carveout memory support for non-IOMMU systems to the `accel/amdxdna` driver. The feature reserves physically contiguous memory at boot time and uses it for buffer allocations when neither IOMMU nor SVA/PASID are available — a debugging/bring-up use case.

The overall design is reasonable: a `drm_mm` allocator manages the carveout region, buffers are exported as custom `dma_buf` objects, and a debugfs interface allows runtime configuration. The patch also refactors IOMMU/DMA mapping code to handle the three address modes (PASID, IOVA, physical address) more cleanly.

However, there are several issues ranging from correctness bugs to design concerns:

**Key concerns:**
1. **SVA bind failure silently ignored** — `amdxdna_drm_open` now downgrades SVA bind failures to warnings and continues, but later code paths that assume `amdxdna_pasid_on()` returns true will silently do the wrong thing if the user never sets up carveout.
2. **Use-after-free risk in cleanup** — `mmdrop()` is called before `amdxdna_sva_fini()`, but SVA unbind may access the mm_struct.
3. **Resource leak in `amdxdna_get_cbuf` error path** — after `dma_buf_export` succeeds and `amdxdna_cbuf_clear` fails, `dma_buf_put` triggers `amdxdna_cbuf_release` which frees the node, but then execution falls through to `out:` returning an error; however, the `cbuf` struct is freed by the release callback so the `remove_node` label is correctly skipped. Actually this path is fine, but the labels are confusingly arranged.
4. **`drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt` called on imported carveout BOs** — carveout BOs are self-imported via `amdxdna_gem_prime_import`, making them imported BOs. The new `amdxdna_dma_map_bo` still calls `drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt()`, which may not work correctly on imported BOs backed by `dma_buf` rather than shmem pages.
5. **Security concern with debugfs carveout** — allowing root to point the driver at arbitrary physical memory at runtime is powerful; the patch lacks range validation against actual reserved memory.
6. **Missing `ssize_t` → `size_t` type handling** — `iommu_map_sgtable` returns `ssize_t` but the patch adds a `size_t` variable for the `< 0` check.
