I'm doubtful of how generic an argument that really is - does anyone
other than Tegra actually do this? (Most things I know of with
programmable Stream IDs at least have the good grace to configure them
in the bootloader or the devices' own drivers)

If the underlying aim is just "make SMMUs on Tegras wait for an extra
thing", I'd suggest simply wiring up the existing tegra_mc APIs in your
arm-smmu-nvidia.c hooks. (hmm, what did happen to those patches?)
