And this is never true. If Linux knows a device masters through the
SMMU, it will always have a default domain of some sort (either identity
or DMA ops). If Linux doesn't know, then it won't have been able to
initialise the stream table for the relevant stream IDs, thus any
'bypass' DMA is going to raise C_BAD_STE. SMMUv3 can effectively only
bypass unknown stream IDs if disabled entirely.
