mpe: This was fixed originally in commitd3d4ffaae4("powerpc/powernv/ioda2: Reduce upper limit for DMA window size"), but contrary to what the merge commit says was inadvertently lost by me in commitce57c6610c("Merge branch 'topic/ppc-kvm' into next") which brought in changes that moved the code to a new file. So reapply it to the new file. Original commit message follows: We use PHB in mode1 which uses bit 59 to select a correct DMA window. However there is mode2 which uses bits 59:55 and allows up to 32 DMA windows per a PE. Even though documentation does not clearly specify that, it seems that the actual hardware does not support bits 59:55 even in mode1, in other words we can create a window as big as 1<<58 but DMA simply won't work. This reduces the upper limit from 59 to 55 bits to let the userspace know about the hardware limits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
