Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] s390/cio: fix virtio-ccw DMA without PV

Commit 37db8985b211 ("s390/cio: add basic protected virtualization
support") breaks virtio-ccw devices with VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM for non
Protected Virtualization (PV) guests. The problem is that the dma_mask
of the ccw device, which is used by virtio core, gets changed from 64 to
31 bit, because some of the DMA allocations do require 31 bit
addressable memory. For PV the only drawback is that some of the virtio
structures must end up in ZONE_DMA because we have the bounce the
buffers mapped via DMA API anyway.

But for non PV guests we have a problem: because of the 31 bit mask
guests bigger than 2G are likely to try bouncing buffers. The swiotlb
however is only initialized for PV guests, because we don't want to
bounce anything for non PV guests. The first such map kills the guest.

Since the DMA API won't allow us to specify for each allocation whether
we need memory from ZONE_DMA (31 bit addressable) or any DMA capable
memory will do, let us use coherent_dma_mask (which is used for
allocations) to force allocating form ZONE_DMA while changing dma_mask
to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) so that at least the streaming API will regard
the whole memory DMA capable.

v1 --> v2:
* Fixed comment: dropped the sentence with workaround.

The idea of enabling the client code to specify on s390 whether a chunk
of allocated DMA memory is to be allocated form ZONE_DMA for each
allocation was not well received [1]. 

Making the streaming API threat all addresses as DMA capable, while
restricting the DMA API allocations to  ZONE_DMA (regardless of needed
or not) is the next best thing we can do (from s390 perspective).
