Why? The device can do 64-bit DMA, so should be able to just access any
page in the system. Even older devices can do 36-bit DMA, but this is a
newer one. And if IOMMU isn't present, you have no protection anyway.

Not sure that means anything though, I really would have expected a 4k
buffer to be 4k aligned - why would you even want to map it across two
pages?

If it is SWIOTLB, shouldn't we get into this condition?

        /*

         */
        if (!alloc_align_mask && !iotlb_align_mask && alloc_size >= PAGE_SIZE)
                alloc_align_mask = PAGE_SIZE - 1;


Otherwise, not sure though how we could possibly fix this in the driver,
we really shouldn't do dma_set_min_align_mask() since on the TX side we
really have no alignment requirements, and swiotlb_map() uses 0 as
alignment.
