The model for IOMMU passthrough is that decent devices that can cope
with DMA to all of memory get passthrough; crappy devices with a limited
dma_mask don't -- they get to use the IOMMU anyway.

This is done on the basis that IOMMU passthrough is usually wanted for
performance reasons, and it's only the decent PCI devices that you
really care about performance for, while the crappy 32-bit ones like
your USB controller can just use the IOMMU and you won't really care.

Unfortunately, the check for this was only looking at dev->dma_mask, not
at dev->coherent_dma_mask. And some devices have a 32-bit
coherent_dma_mask even though they have a full 64-bit dma_mask.

Even more unfortunately, fixing that simple oversight would upset
certain broken HP devices. Not only do they have a 32-bit
coherent_dma_mask, but they also have a tendency to do stray DMA to
unmapped addresses. And then they die when they take the DMA fault they
so richly deserve.

So if we do the 'correct' fix, it'll mean that affected users have to
disable IOMMU support completely on "a large percentage of servers from
a major vendor."

Personally, I have little sympathy -- given that this is the _same_
'major vendor' who is shipping machines which claim to have IOMMU
support but have obviously never _once_ booted a VT-d capable OS to do
any form of QA. But strictly speaking, it _would_ be a regression even
though it only ever worked by fluke.

For 2.6.33, we'll come up with a quirk which gives swiotlb support
for this particular device, and other devices with an inadequate
coherent_dma_mask will just get normal IOMMU mapping.

The simplest fix for 2.6.32, though, is just to jump through some hoops
to try to allocate coherent DMA memory for such devices in a place that
they can reach. We'd use dma_generic_alloc_coherent() for this if it
existed on IA64.
