This can be solved with introducing the fixed size of bitmap. The size
of bitmap can be fixed even per SoC. In tegra we used 64(2 cells)
which I expect at most.

That really doesn't sound like a good idea where you have bridges (like a
PCIe host controller) which could have a significant chunk of StreamID
space. You'd also need to pad everything out with some dummy IDs for parsing
purposes. Yuck!

Can't you solve this by having the SMMU include a stream ID mapping
table. In the case of stream IDs having a large "address" space, then
just define the mapping table syntax to allow easy specification of
ranges using start/length, start/end, or value/mask pairs. Similar to
ranges or PCI's interrupt-map{,-mask}.

That may work for windows, but the mapping from input stream IDs to output
IDs can be arbitrary (I *really* hope people stick to windows for requester
IDs though).
