A long cargo-culted behaviour of PCI drivers is to allocate memory to obtain an address that is fed to the controller as the MSI capture address (i.e. the MSI doorbell). But there is no actual requirement for this address to be RAM. All it needs to be is a suitable aligned address that will *not* be DMA'd to. Since the rcar platform already has a requirement that this address should be in the first 4GB of the physical address space, use the controller's own base address as the capture address.

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.
