From 098afd981744061d37eb4d40bc3f755438570afb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 09:31:47 +0200 Subject: x86/pci-dma: remove the explicit nodac and allowdac option This is something drivers should decide (modulo chipset quirks like for VIA), which as far as I can tell is how things have been handled for the last 15 years. Note that we keep the usedac option for now, as it is used in the wild to override the too generic VIA quirk.
