Since not all devices require a 32-bit MSI address, add support to the

during DMA allocation.
Umm. You can't just disable ZONE_DMA32. Linux absolutely requires a
32-bit dma mask to work, it is in fact the implicit default.
Eh, it's behind CONFIG_EXPERT, which makes it enough of a "I think I
know what I'm doing and accept responsibility for picking up the pieces
if it breaks" thing.
