Is the point here that just that if you lack an IOTLB and want devices
to be able to reach system memory above 4GB, you need a bounce buffer
below 4GB?  If so, maybe we could just say *that* instead of a
nebulous reference to "the implementation of */swiotlb.c", which
doesn't tell you what part of the implementation is relevant.

I personally don't think there's much value in this line and I'd
remove it entirely.

Is there any chance this could be updated to refer to some variable or
function names that grep/ctags/cscope/etc could find?  If we had that,
I think the filename reference would be superfluous.

I think both of these lines (the "arch/x86/pci/sta2x11-fixup.c" one
and the "glue code" one) are superfluous.

There's also a superfluous empty line at the end of the GPL license
text, but I guess that should be removed by replacing the whole thing
with an SPDX line.
