As I mentioned, it would be nice if this could at least go into v4.11
and later, given that v4.11 contains a patch that switches all PCI
devices to 32-bit addressing only when the IOMMU is involved in DMA,
and this is what triggered the issue on arm64 boards with such a PCI
card and no DRAM below 4 GB.

Thanks,
Ard.
