- * The merge_mask variable needs to be set to (max(iommu_page_size(iommu)) - 1).  This
- * mask specifies a mask of address bits that must be 0 in order for two buffers to be
- * mergeable by the I/O MMU (i.e., the end address of the first buffer and the start
- * address of the second buffer must be aligned to (merge_mask+1) in order to be
- * mergeable).  By default, we assume there is no I/O MMU which can merge physically
- * discontiguous buffers, so we set the merge_mask to ~0UL, which corresponds to a iommu
- * page-size of 2^64.
