dma_direct_supported tries to find the minimum addressable bitmask
based on the end pfn and optional magic that architectures can use
to communicate the size of the magic ZONE_DMA that can be used
for bounce buffering. But between the DMA offsets that can change
per device (or sometimes even region), the fact the ZONE_DMA isn't
even guaranteed to be the lowest addresses and failure of having
proper interfaces to the MM code this fails at least for one
arm subarchitecture.
As all the legacy DMA implementations have supported 32-bit DMA
masks, and 32-bit masks are guranteed to always work by the API
contract (using bounce buffers if needed), we can short cut the
complicated check and always return true without breaking existing
assumptions. Hopefully we can properly clean up the interaction
with the arch defined zones and the bootmem allocator eventually.

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.
