Hi Magnus,

Thank you for the patch.

The driver only supports the 40-bits page table format for now, hence the 
dependency on LPAE, but it indeed seems that the dependency is bogus. As long 
as the 8 MSBs of the translated address are all 0 I assume the output 40-bit 
address is usable on a 32-bit physical address system.

How have you tested the patch ?
