Hi,

while i do agree that this patch is needed and should do what it is 
supposed to do i'm still wondering what the idea behind  
pci_map_single() returning inaccessible DMA addresses is. The pci layer 
knows that the device can only handle addresses up to 1GB. For what 
reasons should it return addresses above that limit? Reading the 
DMA-mappings.txt didn't reveal an answer so maybe someone can shed some 
light onto this topic?

Thanks,
   Florian
