I'm not following what the problem is. You should always be able to describe
in the inbound window (that is from the CPU perspective) using dma-ranges
and the outbound window using ranges.

If you have a case where the outbound translation is a 256MB (i.e. 28bit)
section of the CPU address space, that could be represented as

	ranges = <0x82000000 0 0  0xb0000000  0 0x10000000>;

or 

	ranges = <0x82000000 0 0xb0000000  0xb0000000  0 0x10000000>;

depending on whether you want the BARs to be programmed using a low
address 0x0-0x0fffffff or an address matching the window
0xb0000000-0xbfffffff.
