It shouldn't be that hard. However when we removed that we were hoping we had no active consumers. So we'll have to fix this and check for other 32-bit boards with LPAE and page_pool handling the DMA mappings. But the point now is that this is far from a 'hardware configuration' of 32-bit CPU + 64-bit DMA. Every armv7 and x86 board can get that. So I was thinking it's better to revert this and live with the 'weird' handling in the code.
