For some odd reason dell_rbu actually seems to want the physical and
not a bus address for the allocated buffer.  Lets assume that actually
is correct given that it is BIOS-related and that is a good source
of insanity.  In that case we should not use dma_alloc_coherent with
a NULL device to allocate memory, but use GFP_DMA32 to stay under
the 32-bit BIOS limit.

History
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 Restructured Text 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.
