Some build time checks in ipa_table_validate_build() assume that a DMA address is 64 bits wide. That is more restrictive than it has to be. A route or filter table is 64 bits wide no matter what the size of a DMA address is on the AP. The code actually uses a pointer to __le64 to access table entries, and a fixed constant IPA_TABLE_ENTRY_SIZE to describe the size of those entries. Loosen up two checks so they still verify some requirements, but such that they do not assume the size of a DMA address is 64 bits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
