[PATCH] ARM: Use 64-bit DMA addresses for LPAE+VirtIO-MMIO

On an LPAE system, the physical addresses used by VirtIO-MMIO may
be larger than 32 bits, even if the header and configuration space
addresses fit into 32 bits. For example with the Versatile Express
memory map using 4G memory, the following error occured when trying
to use a VirtIO-MMIO block device.

EXT2-fs (vda): error: ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #2: : unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=3755990991, rec_len=57311, name_len=223

To fix this, select ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT when both LPAE and
VIRTIO_MMIO are selected.
