intel-iommu: PAE memory corruption fix
PAGE_MASK is 0xFFFFF000 on i386 -- even with PAE. So it's not sufficient to ensure that you use phys_addr_t or uint64_t everywhere you handle physical addresses -- you also have to avoid using the construct 'addr & PAGE_MASK', because that will strip the high 32 bits of the address. This patch avoids that problem by using PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK instead of PAGE_MASK where appropriate. It leaves '& PAGE_MASK' in a few instances that don't matter -- where it's being used on the virtual bus addresses we're dishing out, which are 32-bit anyway. Since PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK is not present on other architectures, we have to define it (to PAGE_MASK) if it's not already defined. Maybe it would be better just to fix PAGE_MASK for i386/PAE?
