Subject: [-mm PATCH] DMA engine kconfig improvements (rev2)
From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...sta.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@...el.com: fix up Kconfig text]

config DMA_ENGINE

- DMA engines offload bulk memory operations from the CPU to dedicated
- hardware, allowing the operations to happen asynchronously.

- ---help---
+ help
This enables the use of DMA engines in the network stack to
offload receive copy-to-user operations, freeing CPU cycles.
Since this is the main user of the DMA engine, it should be enabled;
say Y here.
