See Documentation/DMA-API.txt, specifically the section starting

  Part Ic - DMA addressing limitations
  ------------------------------------

and also Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt, the section on

  DMA addressing limitations

which provides further information.

Drivers using DMA should be using dma_set_mask_and_coherent() _or_
one of dma_set_mask() and dma_set_coherent_mask() depending on which
types of DMA they wish to perform.  Drivers should not use
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() except in exceptional circumstances:
that function is more a marker that they or some bus/platform code
is doing something wrong.
