Sure, but in theory, my for-loop is correct, right? Wouldn't there be
some value in setting a 36-bit or 40-bit DMA mask if it works? We have
a platform where memory starts at a 40-bit address, so some devices have
a 44-bit address bus. If a 64-bit mask doesn't work, then a 32-bit mask
certainly wont.

And that check (like all others) is made in the dma_set_mask call?
