Texas Instrument's System Control Interface (TISCI) permits the ability for Operating Systems to running in virtual machines to be able to independently communicate with the firmware without the need going through an hypervisor. The "host-id" in effect is the hardware representation of the host (example: VMs locked to a core) as identified to the System Controller. This is introduced as an optional parameter to maintain consistency with legacy device tree blobs. We call this with a vendor prefix to prevent any possible confusion with SCSI ID (m68k) kernel option.
