Subject: [-mm PATCH] DMA engine kconfig improvements (rev2)
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 17:10:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070817001025.5634.54557.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

This patch contains the following changes to the DMA engine menus:
- switch to menuconfig
- INTEL_IOATDMA must depend on X86
- INTEL_IOATDMA must select DCA
- device drivers shouldn't "default m"
- DCA shouldn't be a user visible option
- make it clear in the INTEL_IOATDMA help text that this driver is for
  rare hardware the user most likely doesn't has
- let DMA_ENGINE be select'ed by the DMA devices, making it less likely
  for a user to accidentally enable NET_DMA

[dan.j.williams@intel.com: fix up Kconfig text]
