I got a real vcodec issue described in the commit message. As you may
see in the vcodec's dt-binding example[1/10] or the dts node[9/10],
their length is 0xfff00000 that means they use 1M as the gap. Vcodec
use this for a long time. After this patchset, this property is unused,
then I have to take care of this in the iommu, therefore this patch is
required, and I just give a bigger gap(8M) here.
