IIUC, having DMA allocation per node may become issue for 32 bit PCI
devices connected on NODE 1 on IOMMU less platforms.
most of the platforms may have NODE 1 RAM located beyond 4GB and
having DMA allocation beyond 32bit for NODE1(and above) devices may
make 32 bit pci devices not usable.

DMA/IOMMU experts, please advise?
