Verified by having pata_falcon print the default DMA mask (0xffffffff), 
then setting a 24 bit DMA mask and reading it back.

That did uncover an error I made in the gvp11 driver - the devices' 
default DMA mask there is given as a 32 bit integer, but the DMA API 
needs 64 bit. Will send a separate fix for that.
