Since not all devices require a 32-bit MSI address, add support to the
PCIe host driver to allow setting the DMA mask to 64-bits if the 32-bit
allocation fails. This allows kernels to disable ZONE_DMA32 and bounce
buffering (swiotlb) without risking not being able to get a 32-bit address
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.
