Thanks :)

I was wondering if it would silently hides another address size related
issue a little bit lower, as we now have :

  dma_addr_t des2;

  des2 = dma_map_single(...);

  desc->des2 = cpu_to_le32(des2);

desc->des2 is __le32, so for 64 bit addresses we silently truncate the
address.

However I don't see how jumbo would work on 64-bits anyways as des3 is the next
chunk of the jumbo frame...

I think this is good as-is, so
