Whilst doing this I discovered that the MMC layer already does some
bounce buffer limiting. It defaults to BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH, but when
dev->dma_mask is set it uses that. The problem is that the default value
for PCI devices covers high mem transfers.
Russell, what was your plan here? Should MMC drivers set dma_mask to
BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH when not doing DMA? Or perhaps 0?
