Yeah, I vaguely remember discussing something like this before. A quick
search through my inbox yielded these two threads, mostly related to
IOMMU but I think there were some mentions about dma-ranges and so on as
well. I'll have to dig deeper into those threads to refresh my memories,
but I won't get around to it until later today.

If someone wants to read up on this in the meantime, here are the links:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/27/346
	http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-May/257200.html

=46rom a quick glance the issue of dma-ranges was something that we hand-
waved at the time.
