Does the nr_ecmdq always physically match with the number of CPUs?
I saw the spec saying "up to 256 pages", but not sure if they are
always physically present, even if CPU number is smaller i.e. some
of them would be unassigned/wasted.

This ENOSPC is a software limitation, isn't it? How about using
"smp_processor_id() % smmu->nr_ecmdq" to select a queue?

Not getting why max_n_shift increases by shift_increment. Mind
elaborating?
