I don't know enough about these systems to answer that. One way would
be to avoid overlaps, e.g., by using bus addresses
0x80000000-0xffffffff and not putting RAM at those addresses. Or
maybe the host bridge could apply a constant offset to bus addresses
before forwarding transactions up to the sytem bus.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b4873931cc8c
added this support, and I'm pretty sure it was tested, but I don't
know what machines it was for. I know many large ia64 systems use
this _TRA support, but I don't have first-hand knowledge of x86
systems that do.

The untested patch below is what I was thinking for the Intel IOMMU
driver.

iommu/vt-d: Reserve IOVA space for bus address, not CPU address

IOVA space contains bus addresses, not CPU addresses. On many systems they
are identical, but PCI host bridges in some systems do apply an address
offset when forwarding CPU MMIO transactions to PCI. In ACPI, this is
expressed as a _TRA offset in the window descriptor.

Convert the PCI resource CPU addresses to PCI bus addresses before
reserving them in the IOVA space.
