There's more here than just this change required here. We also need to
limit it if PAGE_OFFSET + arm_dma_zone_size is greater than 4GB, as
MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is a virtual address - we really don't want the 32-bit
value of this wrapping.

Exactly how we go about this, I'm not sure at the moment, but maybe
something like this:

#define MAX_DMA_ADDRESS ({ \
extern phys_addr_t arm_dma_zone_size; \
arm_dma_zone_size && arm_dma_zone_size < (0x10000000 - PAGE_OFFSET) ? \
(PAGE_OFFSET + arm_dma_zone_size) : 0xffffffffUL; })
