Subject: [PATCH] x86: always select SWIOTLB on x86_64
Impact: fixes korg bugzilla 11980
A kernel for a 64bit x86 system should always contain the swiotlb code
in case it is booted on a machine without any hardware IOMMU supported
by the kernel and more than 4GB of RAM. This patch changes Kconfig to
always compile swiotlb into the kernel for x86_64.
