+Subject: [PATCH 044/323] Documentation/io-mapping: Remove outdated blurb
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.204-rt100.tar.xz
+
+The implementation details in the documentation are outdated and not really
+helpful. Remove them.

+-Current Implementation
+-======================
+-
+-The initial implementation of these functions uses existing mapping
+-mechanisms and so provides only an abstraction layer and no new
+-functionality.
+-
+-On 64-bit processors, io_mapping_create_wc calls ioremap_wc for the whole
+-range, creating a permanent kernel-visible mapping to the resource. The
+-map_atomic and map functions add the requested offset to the base of the
+-virtual address returned by ioremap_wc.
+-
+-On 32-bit processors with HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc uses
+-kmap_atomic_pfn to map the specified page in an atomic fashion;
+-kmap_atomic_pfn isn't really supposed to be used with device pages, but it
+-provides an efficient mapping for this usage.
+-
+-On 32-bit processors without HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc and
+-io_mapping_map_wc both use ioremap_wc, a terribly inefficient function which
+-performs an IPI to inform all processors about the new mapping. This results
+-in a significant performance penalty.
