Fix bounce setting for 64-bit
Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be
right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most
machines have less than 4G. So if you do:
if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
dma = 1
that will translate to:
if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH)
dma = 1
So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA
allocations and isa pooling operations.
Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.
I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as
far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma
operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and
I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as
well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).
