Let me try with say 8 GB RAM example

CPU view of memory : 0x0000 0008 0000 0000 to 0x0000 000a 0000 0000

>From above memory range, first 2 GB of memory has an alias 32 bit
view in the hardware. Hardware internally map the address issued within
that first 2 GB to same memory. 

DMA view of first 2 GB [ 0x0000 0008 0000 0000 to 0x0000 0008 7fff ffff]
is : 0x8000 0000 to 0xffff fffff.

Regards,
Santosh
