Looking at this code in more detail, it seems that it unconditionally
sets pdevinfo.dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32), before calling
arch_setup_dma_ops(). This assignment should really done inside of
arch_setup_dma_ops() instead, which means we should implement that
function on all architectures that support ACPI.

For the case where _CCA is missing (or coherency disabled, if you ask
me), we would not call that function.

On a related note, I'm not sure how to handle different DMA masks here.
arch_setup_dma_ops() gets passed a size (and offset) argument, which should
match the DMA mask, but I don't know if there is a way to find out the
size from ACPI. Should we assume it's always 64-bit DMA capable?

For legacy reasons, the default mask is probably best left at 32-bit,
but drivers are expected to call dma_set_mask() if they can do 64-bit DMA,
and that should fail based on the information provided by the platform
if the bus is not capable of doing that.
