Maybe, irrelevant but I'm going to throw it out.

Can we somehow break these multiple input and multiple output single
function into smaller and manageable pieces while we are fixing a bug
on it?

These functions seem to do N different things when an input is present
or not. 

I got lost in these function when implementing ITS->SMMU->NC use case.
