Hi,

I guess this patch may be dropped after my comment on patch #4. I will comment just on the process.

In previous patch, we make arch_get_dma_bitsize return 0 when
dma_bitsize and platform->dma_bitsize are not set. But this
will affect lowmem_bitsize in allocate_memory_11 for domain0.
Because this function depends lowmem_bitsize to allocate memory
below 4GB.

In current code, when arch_get_dma_bitsize return 0, lowmem_bitsize
will be set to 0. In this case, we will get "No bank has been
allocated below 0-bit." message while allocating domain0 memory.
And the lowmem will be set to false.

This behavior is inconsistent with what allocate_memory_11 done
before, and doesn't meet this functions requirements. So we
check arch_get_dma_bitsize's return value before set lowmem_bitsize.
Avoid setting lowmem_bitsize to 0 by mistake.

In general, we want to avoid breaking bisection within a series. This means that this patch should be before patch #4.
