Hi Yong,

There is no DMA32 zone in some mediatek smartphone chip for single normal zone.

The level 1 and level 2 pgtable are both allocated in ZONE_DMA32, and may have two possible problem:
1.The level 2 pgtable is allocated in ZONE_DMA32 with atomic flag, and it may fail if ZONE_DMA32 memory is used out.
2.Single memory feature will make ZONE_DMA32 empty, and cause level 1 and level 2 pgtable PA more than 32bit.

Solution:
Add the quirk IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_ARM_MTK_TTBR_EXT support, so that level 1 and level 2 pgtable can support at most 35bit PA.

I will update the commit message in next version.

Thanks,
Yunfei.
