It doesn't break dmabounce.

What it breaks is the fact that a PCI device which can do 32-bit DMA is
connected to a PCI bus which can only access the first 64MB of memory
through the host bridge, but the system has more than 64MB available.

Allowing a 32-bit DMA mask means that dmabounce can't detect that memory
above 64MB needs to be bounced to memory below the 64MB boundary.
