The PCI bus iommu group creation code would be part of the SMMU driver (it is handled by other IOMMU drivers as well). My understanding is that there would be one is to one correspondence between the requestor ID and the iommu group. May be, we can have an API provided by the PCI bridge (architecture specific) for setting the stream ID. -Varun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
