This seems to be the only place that this mask is used, and frankly I
think it's less clear than simply "(IOMMU_RESV_NOMAP | IOMMU_RESV_MSI)"
would be, at which point we may as well drop the mask and special value
trickery altogether. Plus, per my previous comment, if it were to be "if
(entry->type != <direct mapped type>)" instead, that's about as obvious
as it can get.
