Subject: [PATCH net-next] ionic: advertise 52-bit addressing limitation for MSI-X

Current ionic devices only support 52 internal physical address
lines. This is sufficient for x86_64 systems which have similar
limitations but does not apply to all other architectures,
notably IBM POWER (ppc64). To ensure that MSI/MSI-X vectors are
not set outside the physical address limits of the NIC, set the
recently added no_64bit_msi value of the pci_dev structure
during device probe.

Thanks, David, for the reminder that we have something like this in our
out-of-tree driver. I'm far from being a DMA expert, but this seems
limiting for those architectures that don't need it, and I would have
thought that setting the dma mask would already be the way of telling
the system what our limitation was so there wouldn't be this problem.
(I'm sure someone will point out the error in my thinking...)

Perhaps to solve your problem with less limitation on others we could do
something like:

#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
pdev->no_64bit_msi = 1;
#endif

Thanks,
sln
