Hmm, I guess 64K pages might make a difference in that we'll chew 
through IOVA space a lot faster with small mappings...

I'll have to try to reproduce this locally, since the interesting thing 
would be knowing what DMA address it was trying to use that went wrong, 
but IOMMU tracepoints and/or dma-debug are going to generate an crazy 
amount of data to sift through and try to correlate - having done it 
before it's not something I'd readily ask someone else to do for me :)

On a hunch, though, does it make any difference if you remove the first 
entry from the PCIe "dma-ranges" (the 0x2c1c0000 one)?
