This automatically selects options for zone DMA and 64 bit DMA addresses when LPAE is enabled on ARM Tegra platforms. These options are required for proper operation with LPAE enabled. The ZONE_DMA option is required to ensure that drivers that allocate DMA memory get buffers from the first 4 GiB. This is necessary because a lot of the controllers only support addressing 32 bits. As for ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT, there are situations where devices that do support addresses of more than 32 bits (such as the display controller or the GPU) can run without translating addresses through an IOMMU on a device with more than 4 GiB of system memory. Note that both of these options are stop-gap solutions required only until the IOMMU can be properly integrated with the DMA mapping API and drivers use that properly and consistently.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
