Ah, looks like this is a bad interaction with the way the cached entry
is handled. I think the iova lookup should skip down the the limit_pfn
rather than assume that rb_last's pfn_lo/hi is ok just because it's in
the tree. Because you'll never hit the limit_pfn == 32bit_pfn case, it
just goes straight to rb_last in __get_cached_rbnode.
