Bzzzzzt - have to call your bluff on that one

The IOMMU mapping window itself may be out of range of some devices. This
is a big problem on AMD64 where the GART window is above the 2GB boundary
- you can do 64->32 nicely but 32->31/30/28/24, all of which turn up on
PC hardware, are no solved by the IOMMU only by GFP_DMA
