The Broadcom STB PCIe host controller is intimately related to the
memory subsystem.  This close relationship adds complexity to how cpu
system memory is mapped to PCIe memory.  Ideally, this mapping is an
identity mapping, or an identity mapping off by a constant.  Not so in
this case.

Consider the Broadcom reference board BCM97445LCC_4X8 which has 6 GB
of system memory.  Here is how the PCIe controller maps the
system memory to PCIe memory:

  memc0-a@[        0....3fffffff] <=> pci@[        0....3fffffff]
  memc0-b@[100000000...13fffffff] <=> pci@[ 40000000....7fffffff]
  memc1-a@[ 40000000....7fffffff] <=> pci@[ 80000000....bfffffff]
  memc1-b@[300000000...33fffffff] <=> pci@[ c0000000....ffffffff]
  memc2-a@[ 80000000....bfffffff] <=> pci@[100000000...13fffffff]
  memc2-b@[c00000000...c3fffffff] <=> pci@[140000000...17fffffff]

I presume the first column is the 'cpu physical address'
and the second the 'pci' address?

...

Isn't this just the same as having an iommu that converts 'bus'
addresses into 'physical' ones?

A simple table lookup of the high address bits will do the
conversion.
