That's for the SCSI midlayer to know whether or not the driver can do
64-bit DMA or not. Basically it means SCSI will use "page+offset"
instead of "address" when building SG lists.

All parisc machines require 32-bit DMA - ie through an IO MMU or direct.
Failures with highmem_io enabled suggests we aren't handling
"page+offset" correctly in the iommu code.
