Thomas, I doubt that you have to go through all of this.  The 
usb-storage driver, for instance, just uses the equivalent of 
dev->dev->dma_mask.  Even though USB devices don't do DMA themselves, 
the DMA mask value is inherited from the parent host controller's device 
struct.

Have you tried doing this?

If Thomas finds that the approach I outlined above works, then the rest 
of this email thread becomes moot.  :-)
