[patch 005/198] arm: add comment about dma_supported()

[akpm]

From: Russell King <rmk+lkml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
