That's a different problem - its about limiting the maximum DMA mask
which can be set, so that memory is sourced from the right place
even for drivers which use 32-bit masks.

It's needed to ensure that dma_set_coherent_mask() can be overridden.
One solution to it would be to ensure that we always define
ARCH_HAS_DMA_SET_COHERENT_MASK, and handle the differences internally,
which is something I've been thinking about adding to my DMA bounce
series of patches.
