| |
Make it possible to enable individually the CONFIG_SWIOTLB option. This is useful for Intel x86_64 systems without DMAR support.
Signed-off-by: Constantin Baranov <const@mimas.ru> --- Tested on my system based on Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 mainboard (P45 chipset) with 8 GiB of RAM. Currently I need to enable either CONFIG_GART_IOMMU or CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU for proper work. Both are AMD specific. When the patch applied, just CONFIG_SWIOTLB is sufficient.
