Well, the original intent of dma_get_required_mask is to return the
mask that the driver then uses to figure out what to set, so what aacraid
does fits that use case.  Of course that idea is pretty bogus for
PCIe devices.

I suspect the right fix is to just not query dma_get_required_mask for
PCIe devices in aacraid (and other drivers that do something similar).
