[PATCH 4/4] x86/xen: assume a 64-bit DMA mask is required

[David Vrabel]

On a Xen PV guest the DMA addresses and physical addresses are not 1:1
(such as Xen PV guests) and the generic dma_get_required_mask() does
not return the correct mask (since it uses max_pfn).

Some device drivers (such as mptsas, mpt2sas) use
dma_get_required_mask() to set the device's DMA mask to allow them to
use only 32-bit DMA addresses in hardware structures.  This results in
unnecessary use of the SWIOTLB if DMA addresses are more than 32-bits,
impacting performance significantly.

We could base the DMA mask on the maximum MFN but:

a) The hypercall op to get the maximum MFN (XENMEM_maximum_ram_page)
will truncate the result to an int in 32-bit guests.

b) Future uses of the IOMMU in Xen may map frames at bus addresses
above the end of RAM.

So, just assume a 64-bit DMA mask is always required.
