NACK withdrawn below.

However, I would prefer a change to this line for readability. Using max() results
in the correct result, but obscures the reason behind the algorithm, where the
intent is to avoid an overflow.  How about something like:

	size = (dev->coherent_dma_mask == 0xffffffffffffffffULL)
		? 0xffffffffffffffffULL : dev->coherent_dma_mask + 1;

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^  This is the flaw in my objection.  When in the
(ret < 0) path, dma_addr is set to zero.  So my worry about dma_addr != 0
is baseless.

I withdraw my NACK because my analysis was flawed.
