[PATCH] x86: always select SWIOTLB on x86_64

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Tue Nov 18 2008 - 06:44:42 EST


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.
