Looking at this... the attributes are a bit of a mess aren't they ?

The requester_id is pretty much PCI specific and only useful for
load/stores coming from a device (for IOMMUs), the "secure" bit
seems to be an ARM thing and is an output from translation,
what about "user" ?

IE, it's a blend of things that are input to an access and things
that are output from translate as far as I can tell ...

For the monitor, I'm thinking of just printing "secure", what do
you think ?

Cheers,
Ben.
