Yes, it is a 1-to-1 channel mapping to an IOMMU ID. The intent of making
it flexible is to allow non-consecutive IOMMU ID assignments as well.
This is particularly needed in virtualised environments where the
hypervisor may reserve certain stream IDs, and the guest VM can map only
the permitted ones. Shall I add a description here mentioning this
use-case?
