Can't you solve this by having the SMMU include a stream ID mapping
table. In the case of stream IDs having a large "address" space, then
just define the mapping table syntax to allow easy specification of
ranges using start/length, start/end, or value/mask pairs. Similar to
ranges or PCI's interrupt-map{,-mask}.
