Yes, that reflects the limitations of the device. You can see many of
the common ones in include/linux/dma-mapping.h.
By the way, commit 8f286c33f1e838d631f4a3260b33efce4bc5973c is a really
bad idea. It is very helpful to see which bitmasks are used by real
devices, and which ones aren't. It should be reverted, IMO.
