Do these address bits have to shift when using nokaslr or PCI_P2PDMA, I think
this shift cause the increase of the required_dma_mask to 0x3fffffffffff?

And what memory is this? It's 8G in size so it could be the RAM of the discrete
GPU (which is at PCI 0000:03:00.0), but that is already here (part of
/proc/iomem):

fe00000000-fe0fffffff : 0000:03:00.0
lspci -v reports 8G of memory at 0xfc00000000 so I assmumed that is the GPU RAM.
