Right. I've just checked and I only forgot to update the PCIe first-cell
(0xffff0000 -> 0xffff0002) in this cover-letter. The device tree files 
and the documentation look correct.

Sorry for the confusion!

That's a tricky question. The best explanation I can give you is that
these fake mappings belong to the MBus children address space, which is
different from the physical address space where LPAE comes into play.

This MBus children address space consists of two 32-bit cells:

IIAA00CC 00oooooo

The first one encodes the target ID and attribute in its upper 16 bits,
and custom values for the fake mappings in the lower 8 bits.
The second one encodes the offset into the MBus decoding window, and
this window can be as large as 4 GiB.

The address space I've just described is not the physical 64-bit address
space; it's the one where MBus children sit.

I hope I understood you're question, and I hope any of the above makes
sense!
