Can we extend the msi-map-mask definition to say: "A mask value of 0x0 is valid
and indicates that no RIDs are _currently_ mapped to any msi-specifier."

We have an SoC with a programmable hardware table in the PCI controller that maps
requester ID to stream ID, so the overall msi-map (and iommu-map) definition fit
into that scheme. But, we would like to be able make the RID->stream-ID mapping
decision _lazily_, in Linux, based on actual usage of PCI devices.

pcie at 3600000 {
compatible = "fsl,ls2085a-pcie", "snps,dw-pcie";
device_type = "pci";
...
msi-map = <0x0 &msi_a 0x7 4>,
msi-map-mask = <0x0>
};

That specifies the there are 4 stream IDs starting at stream ID 0x7,
but the requester ID's are not mapped (because the mask is 0x0).
This tells the PCI controller driver that there are 4 msi-specifiers
(e.g. stream IDs) available and what they are.

(same definition would apply to the iommu-map-mask)
