Actually I think ZONE_DMA should go too (it's linked to GENERIC_ISA_DMA,
isn't it? -- cf. commit 5ac6da669e24 ("[PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for
arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA")), and the whole thing use:
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
The GENERIC_ISA_DMA option itself was added to arch/sparc/config.in with
2.5.31 as:
define_bool CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA y
despite of:
define_bool CONFIG_ISA n
for a reason not clear to me (BLK_DEV_FD? -- but on SPARC that uses some
hacks to work in the absence of ISA DMA anyway).
Am I missing anything here?
