[IA64] SN specific version of dma_get_required_mask()

Create a platform specific version of dma_get_required_mask()
for ia64 SN Altix. All SN Altix platforms support 64 bit DMA
addressing regardless of the size of system memory.
Create an ia64 machvec for dma_get_required_mask, with the
SN version unconditionally returning DMA_64BIT_MASK.
