I don't think this makes much sense when you consider that the DMA
infrastructure supports buses with offsets.  The DMA mask is th
upper limit of the _bus_ specific address, it is not a mask per-se.

What this means is that &= is not the right operation.  Moreover,
simply comparing masks which could be from devices on unrelated
buses doesn't make sense either.

However, that said, I don't have an answer for what you want to
achieve here.
