Why not do this in dma_map_direct() as well?
Or simply have just one dma_map_direct()?

And one more general question - we need a way to use non-direct IOMMU
for RAM above certain limit.

Let's say we have a system with:
0 .. 0x1.0000.0000
0x100.0000.0000 .. 0x101.0000.0000

2x4G, each is 1TB aligned. And we can map directly only the first 4GB
(because of the maximum IOMMU table size) but not the other. And 1:1 on
that "pseries" is done with offset=0x0800.0000.0000.0000.

So we want to check every bus address against dev->bus_dma_limit, not
dev->coherent_dma_mask. In the example above I'd set bus_dma_limit to
0x0800.0001.0000.0000 and 1:1 mapping for the second 4GB would not be
tried. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks,
