Complete knowledge of the system topology (i.e. all bus masters) is a requirement for being able to configure the SMMU correctly if you want to guarantee that you don't have SMR aliasing issues. > >> I am not familiar with Andreas's proposal.

IIRC, it works for densely packed SIDs on the master, so it tries to build up power-of-2 sized groups for that master then mops up the rest with individual entries.
