[PATCH] powerpc: Fix initialization and usage of dma_mask

powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to
break when drivers explicitely try to set a 32 bits mask for example.

First the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree
doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of
set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the
one passed in as an argument.

This patch should fix these.

Does this fix the problem you've noticed ?

(I do still think that sbp2 isn't the right place for that call btw :-)
