Sorry, I'm still a little bit confused. With this patch, if we have
a device which set the right _DMA method (DMA size >= 32), but with the
wrong DMA size in IORT, we still have the ZONE_DMA created which
is actually not needed?

There is no "Memory address size limit" field in revision 0 table, so as
Lorenzo reminded, please add a revision check here.
