 1) Struct scatterlist requirements.
 
-   Don't invent the architecture specific struct scatterlist; just use
-   <asm-generic/scatterlist.h>. You need to enable
-   CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH if the architecture supports IOMMUs
-   (including software IOMMU).
-
-2) ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
-
-   Architectures must ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is
-   DMA-safe. Drivers and subsystems depend on it. If an architecture
-   isn't fully DMA-coherent (i.e. hardware doesn't ensure that data in
-   the CPU cache is identical to data in main memory),
-   ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN must be set so that the memory allocator
-   makes sure that kmalloc'ed buffer doesn't share a cache line with
-   the others. See arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h as an example.
-
-   Note that ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is about DMA memory alignment
-   constraints. You don't need to worry about the architecture data
-   alignment constraints (e.g. the alignment constraints about 64-bit
-   objects).
+   Struct scatterlist must contain, at a minimum, the following
+   members:
+
+	struct page *page;
+	unsigned int offset;
+	unsigned int length;
+
+   The base address is specified by a "page+offset" pair.
+
+   Previous versions of struct scatterlist contained a "void *address"
+   field that was sometimes used instead of page+offset.  As of Linux
+   2.5., page+offset is always used, and the "address" field has been
+   deleted.
