Yes, thinking about this more, only i386 + PAE is special. All other cases
could represent the 4GB boundary restriction in a bus dma tag for the PCI bus
(or in the platform-specific Host-PCI bridge drivers). For i386 + PAE it
might make sense to always enforce a 4GB boundary in the bus_dma code itself.
