[Xen-devel] [PVOPS][PATCH] xen-swiotlb: don't allocate DMA-memory beyond 32-bit

[Ronny.Hegewald@xxxxxxxxx]

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent 
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.

This caused for example not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit 
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit. 

On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent 
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling 
dma_alloc_coherent_mask. 

The attached patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb.
