    [PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: introduce CONFIG_ZONE_DMA · 66701b14
    Christoph Lameter 提交于
    This patch simply defines CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches.  We later do special
    things with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA after the VM and an arch are prepared to work
    without ZONE_DMA.
    
    CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture
    handles ISA DMA.
    
    First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch
    needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported.  We can catch this in
    mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code.
    
    Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way.  We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for
    all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards
    compatibility.  The arches may later undefine ZONE_DMA if their arch code has
    been verified to not depend on ZONE_DMA.
