This fixes a cascade of regressions that originally started with
the addition of the ia64 port, but only got fatal once we removed
most uses of block layer bounce buffering in Linux 4.18.
The reason is that while the original i386/PAE code that was the first
architecture that supported > 4GB of memory without an iommu decided to
leave bounce buffering to the subsystems, which in those days just mean
block and networking as no one else consumer arbitrary userspace memory.
Later with ia64, x86_64 and other ports we assumed that either an iommu
or something that fakes it up ("software IOTLB" in beautiful Intel
speak) is present and that subsystems can rely on that for dealing with
addressing limitations in devices. Except that the ARM LPAE scheme
that added larger physical address to 32-bit ARM did not follow that
scheme and thus only worked by chance and only for block and networking
I/O directly to highmem.
Long story, short fix - add swiotlb support to arm when build for LPAE
platforms, which actuallys turns out to be pretty trivial with the
modern dma-direct / swiotlb code to fix the Linux 4.18-ish regression.

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.
