I'd rather have the arch (aka the bus) be able to filter the mask,
better than having to deal with multiple masks in the generic code.
Besides, in embedded-land, you never know how many busses are stacked
before you reach the device, ie, you'd end up having to AND quite a few
masks before getting there in some cases.

Sounds better to establish that once, at set_coherent_dma_mask() time.

Cheers,
Ben.
