From a813ce432f27c4f5011c7b5ac9d2bbbfeb41d9a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 13:57:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Rename IOMMU option, fix help and mark option embedded. - Rename the GART_IOMMU option to IOMMU to make clear it's not just for AMD - Rewrite the help text to better emphatise this fact - Make it an embedded option because too many people get it wrong. To my astonishment I discovered the aacraid driver tests this symbol directly. This looks quite broken to me - it's an internal implementation detail of the PCI DMA API. Can the maintainer please clarify what this test was intended to do?
