Essentially, all that needs to be done is to ensure that the initial
masks set by acpi_dma_configure() truly reflect the maximum hardware
capability; everything else will then just fall out of that. The
aforementioned thing on the DT side is that of_dma_configure() currently
has a bug which prevents masks larger than 32 bits actually being
assigned from "dma-ranges" - I need to split out a proper patch from the
"git commit -am 'hacks'" that I have on this local branch :)
