How much code relies on the meaning of the nptsbdf bits? Following the general model of concatenating the master ID with the address bits and trasting that as a single input to the IOMMU seems reasonable -- maybe we either don't care about the attribute bits and can replace them with master ID bits, or instead we could extend with more master ID bits at bit 96 and up. npts looks like memory type information. What memory type information we need to describe for coherent masters on ARM is a bit of an open question. Perhaps we can come up with a good ARM-specific interpretation of these bits, but I wonder whether they are enough. If there is a real PCI bus in the system of course, then we are fine once we reach it. The only problem is for the stuff on AMBA buses etc. In theory, we could have to describe memory types, cacheability attributes and coherency domains, but we may be able to squeeze the possibilities down to a smaller set of sane memory types.
