At the moment the SMMU machine wide and is optin-in with a machine option.

However there is a need to be able to instantiate multiple of them to
match the physical implementation. and there is a need to define what
bus topology each instance is translating, hence the idea to attach it
to a bus.

At ACPI level the IORT table allows to precisely define which RID is
translated by each SMMU instance and this is something we fail to model
with the machine wide option.
