Yeah, do it.

However,,, shouldn't the generic no-op DMA ops be checking the dma_mask
of the device and bitching if it can't reach the address in question?

Also, wasn't Christoph looking at making per-device DMA ops more
generic instead of an 'archdata' thing on basically every platform? Or
did I just imagine that part?

Not that I'm suggesting you make the s390 patch wait for that *instead*
of using archdata there, mind you. But I was kind of planning to let
the dust settle on this lot before I sort out the theoretical-except-
in-simulation issues with VT-d IOMMU covering *some* devices but not
all.
