Hmm, ok, I originally thought that allowing it to be disabled for 32-bit 
would cause people to regret it later when using pnp, for instance, and 
finding they need to require ISA-style DMA support for their devices.  I 
agree, though, that allowing CONFIG_EXPERT to disable it even for 32-bit 
sounds appropriate since they ultimately know what devices they're 
limiting their kernel from using.  Thanks!


x86: allow CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API to be disabled

Not all 64-bit systems require ISA-style DMA, so allow it to be
configurable.  x86 utilizes the generic ISA DMA allocator from
kernel/dma.c, so require it only when CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is enabled.

64-bit systems may compile a 32-bit kernel, so allow disabling it for
i386 as well.

Disabling CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is dependent on CONFIG_EXPERT as required by
H. Peter Anvin.

When disabled, this also avoids declaring claim_dma_lock(),
release_dma_lock(), request_dma(), and free_dma() since those interfaces
will no longer be provided.
