I sent Jens a fix earlier today.

I didn't do a compile check on 32-bit, I admit that.  But the patch was
explicitly done in a way that wouldn't affect the existing I/O path.

BLK_BOUNCE_* is the DMA mask, yes.  It needs to be converted to pfns.
That's what I messed up when I ripped the call out of DM to put it in
the generic block layer function.

I'll defer to Jens wrt. the choice of -1ULL.
