We introduced memblock_find_dma_reserve() in this commit:
6f2a75369e x86, memblock: Use memblock_memory_size()/memblock_free_memory_size() to get correct dma_reserve
But there's several problems with it:
- The changelog is full of typos and is incomprehensible in general, and
the comments in the code are not much better either.
- The function was inexplicably placed into e820.c, while it has very
little connection to the E820 table: when we call
memblock_find_dma_reserve() then memblock is already set up and we
are not using the E820 table anymore.
- The function is a wrapper around set_dma_reserve(), but changed the 'set'
name to 'find' - actively misleading about its primary purpose, which is
still to set the DMA-reserve value.
- The function is limited to 64-bit systems, but neither the changelog nor
the comments explain why. The change would appear to be relevant to
32-bit systems as well, as the ISA DMA zone is the first 16 MB of RAM.
So address some of these problems:
- Move it into arch/x86/mm/init.c, next to the other zone setup related
functions.
- Clean up the code flow and names of local variables a bit.
- Rename it to memblock_set_dma_reserve()
- Improve the comments.
No change in functionality. Enabling it for 32-bit systems is left
for a separate patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
