Not really. It makes assumptions that the hardware follows the architecture,
which is hardly unreasonable as a starting point.

... but that's broken. If you built a system where the CPUs shared a TLB,
you would run into issues as well.

How does this work with things like arm_smmu_tlb_sync and the TLBGSTATUS
register?

If we're going to put something into the device-tree, then it should be
an erratum property describing the offset to be applied to ASID/VMIDs.
You also need to take care not to describe overlapping numberspaces.

How many context banks do you implement in each SMMU?
