Maybe we could make the dma_addr_t size configurable (and disabled by
default) since I expect there'll be platforms capable of >32-bit DMA.
It would be far better to fix the dma_addr_t abuses.
That's not a simple task, I have no idea how many drivers get used on
ARM systems. We can defer this until people start using Cortex-A15 in
real hardware and only fix the drivers they need.

BTW, can sparse help here (I haven't used it much)?
