For x86 we don't do anything special and if your hardware is flagging the
memory as absent perhaps you should consult the hardware/bridge
documentation firt ?

In some cases (over 4GB and 32bit DMA masks set) we will use the GART on
x86-64 but that will still see addresses below 4GB being sent to the
device.
