 My understanding was that the dma-ranges property is responsible for=20
setting up the inbound ranges of RAM's physical addresses, where PCI=20
could DMA to/from. As regarding the outbound property, this patch=20
doesn't change this, and there we have the PCI space split (2 GB of=20
memory, and 64K of I/O spaces mapped from the 64-bit physical=20
addresses into 32-bit PCI address space). Am I missing something ?

 With the default 2GB dma-ranges we just get the following on Katmai=20
with 4GB of SDRAM installed:
