Subject: config: Enable NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE by default when SWIOTLB is selected
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
commit a6dfa128ce5c414ab46b1d690f7a1b8decb8526d upstream.
A huge amount of NIC drivers use the DMA API, however if
compiled under 32-bit an very important part of the DMA API can
be ommitted leading to the drivers not working at all
(especially if used with 'swiotlb=force iommu=soft').
As Prashant Sreedharan explains it: "the driver [tg3] uses
DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(), dma_unmap_addr_set() to keep a copy of
the dma "mapping" and dma_unmap_addr() to get the "mapping"
value. On most of the platforms this is a no-op, but ... with
"iommu=soft and swiotlb=force" this house keeping is required,
... otherwise we pass 0 while calling pci_unmap_/pci_dma_sync_
instead of the DMA address."
As such enable this even when using 32-bit kernels.
