   4 Subject: [PATCH] mm: refresh ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 comments in 'enum
   5  zone_type'
   6
   7 commit 734f9246e791d8da278957b2c326d7709b2a97c0 upstream.
   8
   9 These zones usage has evolved with time and the comments were outdated.
  10 This joins both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 explanation and gives up to date
  11 examples on how they are used on different architectures.

  62 +        *  - powerpc only uses ZONE_DMA, the size, up to 2G, may vary
  63 +        *    depending on the specific device.

  67 +        *  - s390 uses ZONE_DMA fixed to the lower 2G.
  68 +        *
  69 +        *  - ia64 and riscv only use ZONE_DMA32.
