   I thought I did.  The issue isn't keeping 4gb around, it's using up
   the 32 bit mappings in the bridge for 64 bit capable cards.

Reread what I've quoted, these cards use almost nothing.

Consistent allocations account for maybe %2 to %6 of the total IOMMU
mappings on a fully loaded sparc64 bus.  It doesn't even show up on
the radar.

I've rolled the numbers before, I know it isn't a problem.
