The Fu740 SoC has a mirror of part of DRAM in 32bit space specifically
I think for PCIe where something may be attached via a PCIe-PCI bridge.

I tried this a while ago and IIRC you run into issues with DMA
allocations from certain drivers that expect this to exist.

With new platforms that don't have any memory in DMA32 space
this may become more common. I've already had to deal with this
for an internal dev project, and it ended up having a couple of
hacks into the allocation code to silence warnings/errors.

This of course may have been fixed, given this was last year.
