Subject[patch 17/85] x86: default to SWIOTLB=y on x86_64
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>

commit a1afd01c175324656d0e8f1c82ea94b474953c04 upstream.

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.
