This seems rather specific to MMU-500. I don't think that most IOMMUs would
use the term 'master ID', 'stream ID' or even the general concept, and you don't
expand the acronym 'TBU'. I've seen many IOMMUs and I don't even know what
that means.
Why do you think this is something that is needed to be known at the global
level, rather than a property for some individual drivers?
