I am confused: if vring_use_dma_api() returns false if the dma_mask is
unset (ie. vring_use_dma_api() returns false), the virtio-blk-pci device
will not be able to get translated addresses and won't work properly.

The patch above allows the dma api to be used and only influences the
max_segment_size and it works properly.

So is it normal the dma_mask is unset in my case?

Thanks
