It appears that in commit 9d7a224b463e ("dma-direct: always allow dma mask

there was some additional change planned, specifically I suspect the logic
was intended to be reversed and possibly used for a return. Since that is
the case I have gone ahead and done that.

Bah, seems I got hung up on the min_mask code above it and totally overlooked that the condition itself got flipped. It probably also can't help that it's an int return type, but treated as a bool by callers rather than "0 for success" as int tends to imply in isolation.

Anyway, paying a bit more attention this time, I think this looks like the right fix - cheers Alex.

Robin.

This addresses issues I had on my system that prevented me from booting
with the above mentioned commit applied on an x86_64 system w/ Intel IOMMU.
