I should have explained what I am doing here a little better.
Systems based on the Cavium ThunderX processor may have up to 8
independent PCIe root complexes. The I/O space on each bus occupies an
independent physical address window.
So, in order to be able to map all of these (semi) contiguously, we need
a lot more virtual address space than is supplied by the default values
for all these constants.
The option I chose here was to unconditionally expand the I/O ranges for
all arm64 systems. If you think this breaks existing systems/drivers, I
will have to look for other options.
