I am not sure if kernel driver can reject small dma mask bit if drivers
don't handle it properly.
As a month ago, when I was debugging dma map benchmark, I set a value
less than 32 to devices behind arm-smmu-v3, it could always succeed.
But dma_map_single() was always failing.
At that time, I didn't debug this issue. Not sure the latest status of
iommu driver.
drivers/iommu/intel/iommu.c used to have a dma_supported() to reject
small dma_mask:
static const struct dma_map_ops bounce_dma_ops = {
...
.dma_supported = dma_direct_supported,
};
