MediaTek extend the arm v7s descriptor to support the dram over 4GB.

In the mt2712 and mt8173, it's called "4GB mode", the physical address
is from 0x4000_0000 to 0x1_3fff_ffff, but from EMI point of view, it
is remapped to high address from 0x1_0000_0000 to 0x1_ffff_ffff, the
bit32 is always enabled. thus, in the M4U, we always enable the bit9
for all PTEs which means to enable bit32 of physical address.

but in mt8183, M4U support the dram from 0x4000_0000 to 0x3_ffff_ffff
which isn't remaped. We extend the PTEs: the bit9 represent bit32 of
PA and the bit4 represent bit33 of PA. Meanwhile the iova still is
32bits.

In order to unify code, in the "4GB mode", we add the bit32 for the
physical address manually in our driver.

Correspondingly, Adding bit32 and bit33 for the PA in the iova_to_phys
has to been moved into v7s.

Regarding whether the pagetable address could be over 4GB, the mt8183
support it while the previous mt8173 don't. thus keep it as is.

Comparing the previous version, I add MTK_4GB quirk always since mtk_iommu
has already controlled the PA itself. Helped from Evan.

Thanks for all the explanation on this one. I think I understand it
now, and it looks good to me.
