It's unused. 10 years ago, back when 32bit was still fairly common and trying to not exhaust vmalloc space sounded like a worthwhile goal, adding these to dma_buf made sense. Reality is that they simply never caught on, and nowadays everyone who needs plenty of buffers will run in 64bit mode anyway. Also update the docs in this area to adjust them to reality. The actual hooks in dma_buf_ops will be removed once all the implementations are gone.

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.
