Oops, my bad. I forgot to revert the part that I mentioned in
my previous reply.

Yea, I tested all 4 patches. They still failed at some large
mapping, until I added on top of them my PATCH-1 implementing
the max_mapping_size op. IOW, with your patches it looks like
252KB max_mapping_size is working :)

Though we seem to have a solution now, I hope we can make it
applicable to older kernels too. The mapping failure on arm64
with PAGE_SIZE=64KB looks like a regression to me, since dma-
iommu started to use swiotlb bounce buffer.

Thanks
