The spdk_mem_reserve() function reserves a memory region in SPDK's
memory maps. This pre-allocates all of the required data structures
to hold memory address translations for that region without actually
populating the region.
After a region is reserved, calls to spdk_mem_register() for
addresses in that range will not require any internal memory
allocations. This is useful when overlaying a custom memory allocator
on top of SPDK's hugepage memory, such as tcmalloc.
