Hi Yunsheng,

Patch 1: disable dma mapping support for 32-bit arch with 64-bit

Patch 4-7: use pp_magic to identify pp page uniquely.
There's some subtle changes in this patchset that might affect XDP.

What I forgot when I proposed removing the recycling bit,  is that it also
serves as an 'opt-in' mechanism for drivers that want to use page_pool but 
do the recycling internally.  With that removed we need to make sure
nothing bad happens to them.  In theory the page refcnt for mlx5
specifically will be elevated, so we'll just end up unmapping the buffer.
Arguably we could add a similar mechanism internally into page pool,  
which would allow us to enable and disable recycling,  but that's
an extra if per packet allocation and I don't know if we want that on the XDP 
case.
A few numbers pre/post patch for XDP would help, but iirc hns3 doesn't have
XDP support yet?

It's plumbers week so I'll do some testing starting Monday.

Thanks

V3:
    1. add patch 1/4/6/7.
    2. use pp_magic to identify pp page uniquely too.
    3. avoid unnecessary compound_head() calling.

V2: add patch 2, adjust the commit log accroding to the discussion
    in V1, and fix a compiler error reported by kernel test robot.

  skbuff: remove unused skb->pp_recycle
