Yup, I've had Tomasz' patch included in my iommu/iova branch for a
while, and the "Misc. IOVA tweaks" patches were actually written on top
of it.

This should be the final piece of the puzzle for several arm64 server
platforms, which exacerbate the problem by using 64K pages and having
host bridge windows consume most of the 32-bit mem space.
