Catalin Marinas 3be9b84689 arm64: support DMA zone above 4GB 
Commit 791ab8b2e3 ("arm64: Ignore any DMA offsets in the
max_zone_phys() calculation") made arm64 DMA/DMA32 zones span the entire
RAM when RAM starts above 32-bits. This breaks hardware with DMA area
that start above 32-bits. But the commit log says that "we haven't
noticed any such hardware". It turns out that such hardware does exist.

One such platform has RAM starting at 32GB with an internal bus that has
the following DMA limits:

  #address-cells = <2>;
  #size-cells = <2>;
  dma-ranges = <0x00 0xc0000000 0x08 0x00000000 0x00 0x40000000>;

That is, devices under this bus see 1GB of DMA range between 3GB-4GB in
their address space. This range is mapped to CPU memory at 32GB-33GB.
With current code DMA allocations for devices under this bus are not
limited to DMA area, leading to run-time allocation failure.

This commit reinstates DMA zone at the bottom of RAM. The result is DMA
zone that properly reflects the hardware constraints as follows:

[    0.000000] Zone ranges:
[    0.000000]   DMA      [mem 0x0000000800000000-0x000000083fffffff]
[    0.000000]   DMA32    empty
[    0.000000]   Normal   [mem 0x0000000840000000-0x0000000bffffffff]

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 reStructuredText 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.
