We do describe the masked StreamID (SID) but we need to specify the mask
that the SMMU should apply to the incoming SIDs, right?
We have a bus master that emits 43 unique SIDs. However, we have only 40
SMMU_SMRn registers in the SMMU. So we need to mask out some of the
incoming SID bits so that the 43 SIDs can match one of 40 entries in the
SMR.
