That one is actually a more interesting issue. GENERIC_ISA_DMA_SUPPORT_BROKEN
is needed on Indigo 2 but Indigo 2 has no mmeory other than a little bit
for the exception vectors mapped into the low 16MB. At this stage nobody
seems to know if the machine actually can support ISA DMA or not.
Anyway, that means that for now it seems better to leave ZONE_DMA
disabled.
But maybe somebody who knows a little more about EISA support on Indigo 2
should comment.
