Take another look. NET_DMA depends on DMA_ENGINE which only gets selected when a dma device driver is selected. Each driver has its architecture specific dependency, so the DMADEVICES arch dependency was completely redundant. > Plus it would help ensure that the arch dependencies are comprehenible, > unlike that highmem thing. The highmem dependency can go away its only purpose is to prevent hitting the BUILD_BUG_ON in async_xor.c. -- Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
