I think it can define the common-cases for the existing implementations,
yes. I anticipate Stream-IDs becoming > 16-bit in the near future though,
so we'd need extra bits if we're describing other devices coming into the
SMMU.

Note that we already have a binding for the current SMMU driver, so I'm not
really in a position to shift over to a new binding until the next version of
the SMMU architecture comes along...
