I think I see your point. Even if pci_map_resource() were changed to return
a pci_bus_addr_t, we would have the same problem again where the dma_addr_t
would either need to expand (a non-starter as already discussed) or replace
the return type of dma_map_resource() with something wider to accommodate,
or prevent such platforms from attempting to return a valid address that
will be truncated.

PCI devices on the platform in question (64-bit PCI bus addresses, 32-bit
dma_addr_t, and no IOMMU) should theoretically still be capable of PCI
peer-to-peer traffic, but would only be limited by the API, which we do not
want.

What about introducing another always-64-bit type, like peer_dma_addr_t,
for use with the new DMA APIs?
