Hmm.  Thinking about this, I think we ought to add to arch/arm/mm/Kconfig:

 config ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
 	def_bool ARM_LPAE
 
 config ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
 	bool
+	select ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT

I seem to remember that you're quite right that dma_addr_t <= phys_addr_t
but dma_addr_t must never be bigger than phys_addr_t.
