I agree, but that is not likely serious as most systems will have enough memory 
that the max_pfn term will be much larger than the initial min_mask, and 
min_mask will be unchanged by the min function. In addition, min_mask is not 
used beyond this routine, and then only to decide if direct dma is supported. 
The following patch generates masks with no holes, but I cannot see that it is 
needed.
