That's a good point, thanks!

You're right! I should update the code to handle both cases.

In "bypass" mode, what TCE size is used? Is it guaranteed to be 4K?

Seems like this would be a different platform implentation I'd put in
for 'powernv', is that right?

My apologies for missing that, and thank you for the review!
