For now, let's say that we limit dma-ranges to 4GB size. with "dma-ranges = <0x00000000 0x00000000 0x1 0x00000000>;"
Then, dma_bus_limit is set correctly to 0xffffffff, SATA driver sets masks to 64-bit as IP supports that.

[ÂÂ 13.306847] ahci 4a140000.sata: dma_mask 0xffffffffffffffff, coherent_mask 0xffffffffffffffff, dma_bus_limit 0xffffffff

However, the SATA controller still tries to do DMA above 32-bits.
dma_alloc() doesn't seem to be taking dma_bus_limit into account?

Yay ARM LPAE... Peter and Christoph have already been playing whack-a-mole with other bugs under that config - is this with or without SWIOTLB? (and whichever way, does the other work any better?)
