ACPI must have something else to mark DMA master devices and their
capabilities, right?

The platform should initialize the dma_mask pointer to a per-device
mask and set both the dma_mask and dma_coherent_mask to 32 bits
for any DMA master device, and the device driver should override
that to be an appropriate mask based on its needs later.
