It kinds does and is. The thing is that after f1565c24b596 the driver 
sets 32 bit DMA mask which in turn enables the small DMA window (not 
bypass) and since the aacraid driver has at least one bug with double 
unmap of the same DMA handle, this somehow leads to EEH (PCI DMA error).


The driver sets 32but mask because it callis dma_get_required_mask() 
_before_ setting the mask so dma_get_required_mask() does not go the 
dma_alloc_direct() path and calls the powerpc's 
dma_iommu_get_required_mask() which:

1. does the math like this (spot 2 bugs):

mask = 1ULL < (fls_long(tbl->it_offset + tbl->it_size) - 1)

2. but even after fixing that, the driver crashes as f1565c24b596 
removed the call to dma_iommu_bypass_supported() so it enforces IOMMU.


The patch below (the first hunk to be precise) brings the things back to 
where they were (64bit mask). The double unmap bug in the driver is 
still to be investigated.
