[RFC 6/8] i386 without ZONE_DMA

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



i386: Optional ZONE_DMA

ZONE_DMA depends on GENERIC_ISA_DMA. We allow the user to configure
GENERIC_ISA_DMA. If it is switched off then we buid a kernel without
ZONE_DMA.

Note that this patch is incomplete: All device drivers that use GENERIC_ISA_DMA
need to depend on it. This was not tested for i386 NUMA and other miscalleneous
configuration. But it works on my desktop (dual core Pentium).
