No.

The whole point of RMRs is for devices that are already configured to
access the given address range in a manner beyond the kernel's control.
If you can do this, it proves that you should not have an RMR in the
first place.

The notion of a kernel driver explicitly configuring its device to DMA
into any random RMR that looks big enough is so egregiously wrong that
I'm almost lost for words...

Robin.
