    Ah, you are right.  For this and the below, this should be ideally '1'
as the
    Stream ids for a master here are represented by a single cell.  I should
    change my xlate function to take care of this.

  Ya, will change this.

 They are connected to all iommus and ports and enabled/disabled together.
 I will add little more description here for this here.

one value.

 Yes, true. Wrong usage here and as I said above should be corrected.

    Ok, right.
