* DMA addressing constraints. This distinction is important as a 32bit
* DMA mask is assumed when ZONE_DMA32 is defined. Some 64-bit
* platforms may need both zones as they support peripherals with
* different DMA addressing limitations.
*
* Some examples:
*
* - i386 and x86_64 have a fixed 16M ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 for the
* rest of the lower 4G.
*
* - arm only uses ZONE_DMA, the size, up to 4G, may vary depending on
* the specific device.
*
* - arm64 has a fixed 1G ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 for the rest of the
* lower 4G.
*
* - powerpc only uses ZONE_DMA, the size, up to 2G, may vary
* depending on the specific device.
*
* - s390 uses ZONE_DMA fixed to the lower 2G.
*
* - ia64 and riscv only use ZONE_DMA32.
*
* - parisc uses neither.
