The stream IDs described here are not used by the host1x device itself, 
so I don't think I can. Host1x's memory transactions still go through 
the stream ID specified in its 'iommus' property, these stream IDs are 
used by engines (typically in addition to the stream ID specified in 
their own nodes).

Host1x 'iommus' -- Channel commands
Engine 'iommus' -- Engine firmware (and data if context isolation is not 
enabled)
memory-contexts 'iommu-map' -- Data used by engines.

(Perhaps I should add this information to various places in more 
abundance and clarity.)
