I think it would be better to create a pci_add_dma_alias_range()
function instead of directly accessing dma_alias_mask. We could then use
that function to clean up quirk_switchtec_ntb_dma_alias() which is
essentially doing the same thing.

It's also quite ugly that you're allocating with kcalloc here instead of
bitmap_zalloc() seeing it will be free'd with bitmap_free(). Also, you
should probably use bitmap_set() instead of memset().
