I don't understand why the endpoint is using the same stream ID as the root
complex in this case. Why is that? Is the grouping logic not working
properly?

It doesn't feel like the driver is the right place to fix this, as the same
issue could surely occur for other IOMMUs too, right? In which case, I think
we should avoid getting into the situation where different groups have
overlapping stream IDs.
