Hi Joe,

Thank you for pointing that out. It's a bit of a shame that this
comment was deleted from include/asm-generic/types.h in commit
3e50594e8e72932ad4cfcb0b3cbdf58fc3bce416:

-/*
- * DMA addresses may be very different from physical addresses
- * and pointers. i386 and powerpc may have 64 bit DMA on 32 bit
- * systems, while sparc64 uses 32 bit DMA addresses for 64 bit
- * physical addresses.
- * This default defines dma_addr_t to have the same size as
- * phys_addr_t, which is the most common way.
- * Do not define the dma64_addr_t type, which never really
- * worked.
