Hi Arnd,

Sorry for the delay on this, I had to do a bit of digging.

Unfortunately, this sounds like something we may well have to support.
Whilst the SMMUv2 architecture did grow a late extension to support 16-bit
StreamIDs, that may have been too late for all silicon vendors and, as such,
I'm not confident that such systems will present a single software interface
for their SMMU.
