I don't see how that matters, that's part of the mechanism for
providing memory to drivers.

The diff in question which adds BUS_DMA_64BIT is a declaration to
the higher-level code that _all_ chipsets supported by this driver can
work with 64 bit-addressable memory if the higher levels provide it.

If one chipset can't do it, the experience will be terrible.
