this implementation is similar to function used to allocate memory for
translation tables.
why do you see it affects to stream tables and not to page tables.
at runtime, both tables are accessed by SMMU only.

As said in cover letter, having stream table from respective NUMA node
is yielding
around 30% performance!
please suggest, if there is any better way to address this issue?
