Whilst the notion of an upstream DMA restriction is most commonly seen
via PCI host bridges saddled with a 32-bit native interface, a more
general version of the same issue can exist on complex SoCs where a bus
or point-to-point interconnect link carries fewer address bits between a
device and a downstream component (often an IOMMU) than both blocks
nominally support. In order to properly deal with this, first grow the
dma_32bit_limit flag into an arbitrary mask.

To minimise the impact on existing code, we'll only consider this new
mask valid if set. That makes sense anyway, since cases where DMA is not
wired up at all would be better handled by not giving the device valid
ops in the first place.

Right, I'll give it a tweak. I could also do with actually getting the 
field name correct in via_no_dac_cb()...

Indeed, once we've found an approach that everyone's happy with we can 
have a more thorough audit of exactly where else it needs to be applied. 
FWIW I'm not aware of any 32-bit Arm systems affected by this*, but if 
they do exist then at least there's no risk of regression since they've 
always been busted.

Robin.


* Not counting the somewhat-similar StrongArm DMA controller bug where 
one bit in the *middle* of the mask is unusable. Let's keep that 
confined to the Arm dmabounce code and never speak of it...

Ok, great.  I just assumed arm might be affected due to the fact that
it currently parses dma-ranges DT properties.
