Whilst PCI devices may have 64-bit DMA masks, they still benefit from using 32-bit addresses wherever possible in order to avoid DAC (PCI) or longer address packets (PCIe), which may incur a performance overhead. Implement the same optimisation as other allocators by trying to get a 32-bit address first, only falling back to the full mask if that fails.

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.
