Actually, dma-direct doesn't automatically respect the bus limit.  For
various architectures including arm it uses the arch_dma_alloc callout,
which for arm just uses the existing arm coherent allocator.

Thay being said I'm still looking for reviewers for the arm dma coherent
allocator bus limit fix..
