Sorry, but NAK.

We have a standard 'dma-ranges' property to handle this, so use it.

See the x-gene PCIe driver patches for an example. Please also talk
to Santosh about it, as he is implementing generic support for
parsing dma-ranges in platform devices at the moment.

I also suspect you will have to implement swiotlb support to make
generic PCI devices work behind this bridge. Otherwise you end up
with random physical addresses passed into DMA registers.
