Ah right, sorry for missing a reply on that.

I think that is ok: the idea would be that we always just list the
first ID of the range and then let the iommu driver add the offset
in the appropriate way.

I guess you are right, but the driver can even handle the PCI
device correctly without the extra parameter:

	devid = 0;
	if (dev_is_pci(dev)) {
		struct pci_dev *pdev = to_pci_dev(dev);
		devid = PCI_DEVID(pdev->bus->number, pdev->devfn);
	}

	streamid += devid;

Other IOMMUs won't even care about the devid, so they will just work.

I'd say just keep the iommu setup for PCI now and let drivers handle
this under the covers.

There is another interesting case, which is a USB host controller or
something similar behind a PCI bus. These are quite common and also
need to be handled in some form. Let's do just PCI first for now, but
be aware that this will come next. Should we assume that the ID that
is required for a device is either known from the device node, or
that it comes from a PCI device? That means for the USB case, we will
likely need to have some custom logic. There seems to be an implicit
assumption all over the kernel that all devices have the same IOMMU
instance, but we can't really rely on that here.
