Hi, this is a series of cleanup patches for dropping the current hackish way of passing the GFP_* flags for CONTINOUS and VMALLOC memory allocations. There are only three users for this legacy feature, and all of them seem superfluous. And, if any driver requires the memory restriction in future, it can now pass the proper device pointer for specifying the DMA mask.
