Sorry, I didn't parse what the tradeoff is here...

Putting the inbound window above memory seems like a reasonable option then
(at least as a default that the board can override).

I sincerely hope those radeons are the only remaining things with that sort of
limitation but you never know ... it's all x86 fault of course for never having
used high DMA windows :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
