A better default would be to use a 32 bit mask for all devices and override the ones that actually matter for performance and are known to be 64-bit DMA capable. Laura, you obviously tried this code on an LPAE-enabled system. Have you had a look in the hardware manual which DMA masters in the system are actually 64-bit capable?
