I know this just spreads the arm code, but I still kinda hate it.
MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is such an oddly defined concepts. We have the mm code that uses it to start allocating after the dma zones, but I think that would better be done using a function returning 1 << max(zone_dma_bits, 32) or so. Then we have about a handful of drivers using it that all seem rather bogus, and one of which I think are usable on arm64.
