Hello.

DMA bounce limit is the maximum direct DMA'able memory beyond which
bounce buffers has to be used to perform dma operations. SCSI driver
relies on dma_mask but its calculation is based on max_*pfn which
don't have uniform meaning across architectures. So make use of
dma_max_pfn() which is expected to return the DMAable maximum pfn
value across architectures.

You definitely forgot -1 here.

Please explain your point.

Previously, 'bounce_limit' would look like 0xffffffff (unless I'm mistaken), now it would look like 0xfffff000 which is hardly what we're looking for, no?
