Unfortunatly this patch causes XHCI initialization failures on my AMD
Ryzen system. I will remove both from the IOMMU tree for now.

I guess the XHCI chip in my system does not support full 64bit dma
addresses and needs a quirk or something like that. But until this is
resolved its better to not change the IOVA allocation behavior.
