Subject: [RFC PATCH 7/7] mm: Add config HUGE_IOMAP to enable huge I/O mappings
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:13:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422314009-31667-8-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1422314009-31667-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com>

Add config HUGE_IOMAP to enable huge I/O mappings.  This feature
is set to Y by default when HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is defined on the
architecture.

Note, user can also disable this feature at boot-time by the kernel
option "nohgiomap" if necessary.
