Possibly. It currently "Works For Me(tm)", but I should check it over.

The use of unsigned long for the mask is throughout the API and not
simply limited to swiotlb.c. All the callers of dma_set_seg_boundary
(PCI and SCSI subsys it seems) do not use a value >4G anywhere I can
see. Presumably if something was we would see "warning: overflow in
implicit constant conversion" somewhere along the line. If no value is
set then the default is 0xffffffff which is safe on 32 bit.

I suspect that even with PAE addresses above 4G aren't seen very often
due to pre-existing subsystem specific bounce buffers or other existing
limitations (like network buffers being in lowmem).

Perhaps dma_addr_t should be used though?
