The current code assumes that we can address more bits on a PCI bus
for DMA than we really can but there is no way knowing the actual limit.

This makes a better guess for the number of levels and if the kernel
fails to allocate that, this increases the level numbers till succeeded
or reached the 64bit limit.

This adds levels to the trace point.

This may cause the kernel to warn about failed allocation:
   [65122.837458] Failed to allocate a TCE memory, level shift=28
which might happen if MAX_ORDER is not large enough as it can vary:

So, looking at this, it seems kind of bogus that qemu chooses the
number of levels, when those levels aren't really visible to it.  The
kernel has better information to choose a sensible number of levels -
witness qemu here attempting to guess what the kernel will do.

But, I guess the interface is what it is now, so,
