Yeah, given that it's always held a mask I'm not entirely sure why it 
was ever a dma_addr_t rather than a u64. Unless anyone else is desperate 
to do it I'll get a cleanup patch ready for rc1.

As long as the dependencies for CONFIG_IOMMU_DMA are met it can be built 
even when it's not actually used. That said, I might have expected that 
arm allyesconfig ends up with CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y anyway; I 
guess it must pick some of CONFIG_ARM_LPAE's negative dependencies.
