It looks like Arm does not set the ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT
constant for swiotlb, so it gets the default 4GB maximum.

I think this would work on arm, though it's probably not the
correct fix in general, as I think MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is meant
to refer to the ISA_DMA_API limit, not the ZONE_DMA limit.:

Can you give this a try?
