So practically putting an explicit memory_address_limit=64 is harmless
as dmaaddr always is 0, right?

In QEMU I intended to update the ACPI code to comply with the rev D
spec. in that case the RC table revision is 1 (rev D) and the
memory_address_limit needs to be filled. If we don't want to restrict
the limit, isn't it the right choice to set 64 here?

Thanks
