I meant changing every function that the size values gets passed into
to take a mask like 0xffffffff instead of a size like 0x100000000, so
we can represent a 64-bit capable bus correctly.

This means we also need to adapt the value returned from of_dma_get_range.
A minor complication here is that the DT properties sometimes already
contain the mask value, in particular when we want to represent a
full mapping like 

	bus {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		dma-ranges = <0 0 0xffffffff>; /* all 4 GB, DMA_BIT_MASK(32) */
	};

as opposed to

	bus {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		dma-ranges = <0 0 0x80000000>; /* only lower 2GB, DMA_BIT_MASK(31) */
	};

or

	bus {
		#address-cells = <2>;
		#size-cells = <2>;
		dma-ranges = <0 0 0x0000000100000000>; /* 4GB of 64-bit address space */
	};
