It could if arm64 would restrict the DMA addresses to 32-bit, but it doesn't
and I end up on my platform with USB DMA buffers allocated >4GB address.

I don't have one, so I don't know for sure. I will try to find a PCI card that
can do 32-bit and 64-bit DMA.

Actually I need this line because my period_dma addresses have top 32-bit
values non-zero.

My platform creates all the USB buffers outside the 4GB zone. Need to go back
to the code to understand if that is due to design or misconfiguration.
