Jake Moilanen 569975591c [POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protection
There are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4 GB
boundary.  For instance, the latest Emulex adapters.

This normally is not an issue as firmware gives dma-windows under
4gigs.  However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above
4gigs, and this present a problem.

During initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB
boundary is marked as used.  Thus no mappings can cross the boundary.
If a table ends at a 4GB boundary, the entry is not marked as used.

A boot option to remove this 4GB protection is given w/ protect4gb=off.
This exposes the potential issue for driver and hardware development
purposes.
