Problem booting Adaptec Ultra 320 driver with discontigmem support.

Hello, all

Running  2.6.0-test11 with Adaptec Ultra 320 driver that provides full 
64-bit support
we hit a BUG in blk_queue_bounce_limit() due to physical address greater 
than allowed by the dma mask.
Having a look into the code, it appears that the computation to allow 
full 64-bit support takes in account the size of the installed memory 
instead of the max physical address of the platform.
For example on  a platform with 32GB of memory distributed in 1 TB 
physical address space, only 39-bits physical addresses are supported 
instead of the 40 bits needed.
