Subject: [PATCH] x86: always select SWIOTLB on x86_64
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:44:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1227008661-1609-1-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com> (raw)

Impact: fixes korg bugzilla 11980

A kernel for a 64bit x86 system should always contain the swiotlb code
in case it is booted on a machine without any hardware IOMMU supported
by the kernel and more than 4GB of RAM. This patch changes Kconfig to
always compile swiotlb into the kernel for x86_64.
