I should have explained what I am doing here a little better.

Systems based on the Cavium ThunderX processor may have up to 8 
independent PCIe root complexes.  The I/O space on each bus occupies an 
independent physical address window.

So, in order to be able to map all of these (semi) contiguously, we need 
a lot more virtual address space than is supplied by the default values 
for all these constants.

The option I chose here was to unconditionally expand the I/O ranges for 
all arm64 systems.  If you think this breaks existing systems/drivers, I 
will have to look for other options.
