Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Use 64k io pages when we never see an HEA
Date: Tue,  1 Apr 2014 15:46:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396359965-19515-1-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de> (raw)

When we never get around to seeing an HEA ethernet adapter, there's
no point in restricting ourselves to 4k IO page size.

This speeds up IO maps when CONFIG_IBMEBUS is disabled.
