And where do you put MMIO ?

The 32 bit part of the PCI space need to be split between MMIO and DMA. 

Ideally, for 64-bit capable DMA, device, we should create a second DMA
range mapping the whole memory at something like 1T or so on PCI, and
keep a smaller (ie. 2G) DMA range for 32-bit only devices backed with
swiotlb.

Cheers,
Ben.
