This is done a bit more complicated than it has to be. The >> 32 is a
red flag as well.

I would also like it to be the last page in the range, not the first
(since otherwise you'll reserve even if the window is less than 4GB.

Something like (untested):

	entries_per_4g = 0x100000000 >> IOMMU_PAGE_SHIFT;

	/* Mark the last bit before a 4GB boundary as used */
	start_index = tbl->it_offset | (entries_per_4g - 1);
	end_index = tbl->it_offset + tbl->it_size;

	for (index = start_index; index < end_index; index += entries_per_4g)
		__set_bit(index, tbl->it_map);

Is easier to follow.
