That makes sense! This patch should work and considers the above
behaviour just as the old code. Please revert the commit and apply this
patch instead. Please let me know if this works.


block: set the bounce_pfn to the actual DMA limit rather than to max memory

The bounce_pfn of the request queue in 64 bit systems is set to the
current max_low_pfn. Adding more memory later makes this incorrect.
Memory allocated beyond this boot time max_low_pfn appear to require
bounce buffers (bounce buffers are actually not allocated but used in
calculating segments that may result in "over max segments limit"
errors).
