Current code gives up when 32 bit DMA is not supported.
This problem has been observed on systems without any
memory below 4 gig.

This patch tests 64 bit support before bailing out to find
a working combination.

That feels decidedly odd.

Why do you probe for 64bit if 32bit fails?
Typically it's the other way round, on the grounds that 64bit DMA
should be preferred over 32bit.
Can you explain why it needs to be done the other way round here?

Cheers,

The platform does not have any memory below 4G. So, 32 bit DMA is not possible. I'm trying to use 64 bit DMA instead since both the platform and hardware supports it. Current code will not try 64 bit DMA if 32 bit DMA is not working.
