I think Will is suggesting something along those lines-- I think it's a
question of where the streamID allocation happens. You could
either do something like the following in the SMMU driver when attaching
a PCI device:
id = alloc_stream_id(...);
pci_set_streamid(pci-dev, id);
or
id = pci_get_streamid(pci-dev);
...i.e the PCI RC could allocate (from some TBD
allocator) and set the stream ID itself.
Not sure how big a deal it is to extend PCI RC interfaces for
something like that.
