Hello Christoph,

The PCI TV card works with your patch! I was able to patch your Git kernel 
with the patch above.

I haven't found any error messages in the dmesg yet.
Thanks.  Unfortunately this is a bit of a hack as we need to set
the mask based on runtime information like the magic FSL PCIe window.
Let me try to draft something better up, and thanks already for testing
this one!
Maybe we'll simply force bottom up allocation before calling
swiotlb_init()? Anyway, it's the last memblock allocation.
