[PATCH] arm: add comment about dma_supported()
) From: Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk> The ARM dma_supported() is rather basic, and I don't think it takes into account everything that it should do (eg, whether the mask agrees with what we'd return for GFP_DMA allocations). Note this. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
