I can't help but think you'd be better off using a linear stream table
in this scenario. If we hack the feature check for
ARM_SMMU_FEAT_2_LVL_STRTAB so that it doesn't report support for 2 level
tables if the number of sids is less than that covered by a single l2
entry, would that solve your problem?

Will
