I would expect actual hardware to follow the architecture (because it 
would need to pass validation suites etc.). The architecture defines an 
extension for supporting up to 1024 stream mapping groups, but that 
works very differently.

The SC8280XP DT claims this SMMU is compatible with a standard Arm 
MMU-500, which definitely does not support more than 128 SMRs, so I have 
no idea what the hypervisor might be up to.

If that were true then why would this patch be a thing at all? :/

Thanks,
Robin.
