The dma section name is confusing, since the code which resides within that section has nothing to do with direct memory access. Instead the limitation is that the code has to run in 31 bit addressing mode, and therefore has to reside below 2GB. So the name was chosen since ZONE_DMA is the same region. To reduce confusion rename the section to amode31, which hopefully describes better what this is about. Note: this will also change vmcoreinfo strings - SDMA=... gets renamed to SAMODE31=... - EDMA=... gets renamed to EAMODE31=...

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.
