It is possible for a 32 bit x86 build to use a 64 bit DMA address. There are two remaining spots where the IPA driver does a modulo operation to check alignment of a DMA address, and under certain conditions this can lead to a build error on i386 (at least). The alignment checks we're doing are for power-of-2 values, and this means the lower 32 bits of the DMA address can be used. This ensures both operands to the modulo operator are 32 bits wide.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
