Sorry for the many follow ups to myself :-)

Anyways the consistent mask problem is still with us. I just have a workaround that 
works (force it to 4GB) and there were related bugs in the x86-64 IOMMU code.

James, can you take a look at that please? From a first look i didn't find the place
where it is set to 0xffffffffffffffff. It isn't the driver.
