The Allwinner IOMMU is a strict 32-bit device, with its input addresses, the page table root pointer as well as both level's page tables and also the target addresses all required to be below 4GB. The Allwinner H6 SoC only supports 32-bit worth of physical addresses anyway, so this isn't a problem so far, but the H616 and later SoCs extend the PA space beyond 32 bit to accommodate more DRAM. To make sure we stay within the 32-bit PA range required by the IOMMU, force the memory for the page tables to come from below 4GB. by using allocations with the DMA32 flag. Also reject any attempt to map target addresses beyond 4GB, and print a warning to give users a hint while this fails.

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 reStructuredText 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.
