Subject: [019/151] x86: Fix iommu=nodac parameter handling

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit 2ae8bb75db1f3de422eb5898f2a063c46c36dba8 upstream.

iommu=nodac should forbid dac instead of enabling it. Fix it.
