Is it generally the case that the SMMU will be in the same NUMA node as 
the endpoint device (which you're driving)? If so, we can get this info 
from sysfs already for the endpoint, and also have a link from the 
endpoint to the iommu for pci devices (which I assume you're interested in):

root@(none)$ ls -l /sys/devices/pci0000:74/0000:74:02.0/ | grep iommu
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root 0 Jun 22 10:33 iommu -> 
../../platform/arm-smmu-v3.2.auto/iommu/smmu3.0x0000000140000000
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root 0 Jun 22 10:33 iommu_group -> 
../../../kernel/iommu_groups/0
root@(none)$

Thanks,
