[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 2/5] bus/pci: use IOVAs check when setting IOVA mode

[Alejandro Lucero]

Although VT-d emulation currently only supports 39 bits, it could
be iovas being within that supported range. This patch allows
IOVA mode in such a case.

Indeed, memory initialization code can be modified for using lower
virtual addresses than those used by the kernel for 64 bits processes
by default, and therefore memsegs iovas can use 39 bits or less for
most system. And this is likely 100% true for VMs.

Applicable to v17.11.3 only.
