Under Xen, this would mean xen_dma_ops->set_dma_mask(). I thought you
want to set the default dma address.

I can see why you may want set_dma_mask() for xen_dma_ops but in also
needs to be passed to __get_dma_ops(dev)->set_dma_ops() otherwise the
actual dma_alloc_attrs() will miss the mask (and on arm64 it does
bouncing via swiotlb).
