Do we understand if and why we even need to bypass certain streams?
And do you have an example for a node in the ADT that contains this bypass range?

I've only seen nodes with "bypass" and "bypass-adress" but that could just be
some software abstraction Apple uses which doesn't map well to Linux or other OSes
and might not even be required here.
