Newer versions of the Xilink DMA IP support busses with more than 32 address bits, by introducing an MSB word for the registers holding DMA pointers (tail/current, RX/TX descriptor addresses). On IP configured for more than 32 bits, it is also *required* to write both words, to let the IP recognise this as a start condition for an MM2S request, for instance. Wrap the DMA pointer writes with a separate function, to add this functionality later. For now we stick to the lower 32 bits.

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.
