Many thanks to Joe for the explanation!

OK, now that I think I've got it, how about this?

    IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_ARM_MTK_4GB: (ARM v7s format) Set bit 9 in all
	PTEs, for Mediatek IOMMUs which treat it as a 33rd address bit
	when the SoC is in "4GB mode" and they can only access the high
	remap of DRAM (0x1_00000000 to 0x1_ffffffff).

Robin.
