48-bit VA support in the SMMU

Thanks Will. But still, if things work for the stage 1 case why disable 48 bit support for the SMMU driver. Wouldn't stage-2 be relevant in case of virtual SMMU?

Varun

Yeah, but it won't work for stage-2 mappings. I'm currently rewriting the page table code to allow this (see my iommu/pgtbl branch).
