dma-mapping: set default segment_boundary_mask to ULONG_MAX
The default segment_boundary_mask was set to DMA_BIT_MAKS(32) a decade ago by referencing SCSI/block subsystem, as a 32-bit mask was good enough for most of the devices. Now more and more drivers set dma_masks above DMA_BIT_MAKS(32) while only a handful of them call dma_set_seg_boundary(). This means that most drivers have a 4GB segmention boundary because DMA API returns a 32-bit default value, though they might not really have such a limit. The default segment_boundary_mask should mean "no limit" since the device doesn't explicitly set the mask. But a 32-bit mask certainly limits those devices capable of 32+ bits addressing. So this patch sets default segment_boundary_mask to ULONG_MAX.
