Say we are using your original example ranges:
memc0-a@[ 0....3fffffff] <=> pci@[ 0....3fffffff]
memc0-b@[100000000...13fffffff] <=> pci@[ 40000000....7fffffff]
memc1-a@[ 40000000....7fffffff] <=> pci@[ 80000000....bfffffff]
memc1-b@[300000000...33fffffff] <=> pci@[ c0000000....ffffffff]
memc2-a@[ 80000000....bfffffff] <=> pci@[100000000...13fffffff]
memc2-b@[c00000000...c3fffffff] <=> pci@[140000000...17fffffff]
and now you get a dma mapping request for physical addresses
3fffff00 to 4000000f, which would span two of your ranges. How
is this going to work?

It is still better than trying to stack dma ops, which is a receipe
for problems down the road.
