Subject: [SCSI] aacraid: remove x86_64 IOMMU dependent code
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12e9b5fb96028aab26af65bb06d2dee56c428a6e;p=linux-beck.git

[SCSI] aacraid: remove x86_64 IOMMU dependent code

This may seem like a DILLIGAF, but after chatting with the F/W folks,
there is no harm in dropping the page calculation as denoted in the
enclosed patch for these older adapters in this new age of 4GB+ memory
sticks. Any resource optimization within the old-old-old adapters for
systems with less than 4G of memory is of little consequence. The
existing AAC_QUIRK_31BIT flag in linit.c should look after the rest of
the legacy hardware DMA limitations.
