This way we have one central definition of it, and user can select it as needed. The new option is not user visible, which is the behavior it had in most architectures, with a few notable exceptions: - On x86_64 and mips/loongson3 it used to be user selectable, but defaulted to y. It now is unconditional, which seems like the right thing for 64-bit architectures without guaranteed availablity of IOMMUs. - on powerpc the symbol is user selectable and defaults to n, but many boards select it. This change assumes no working setup required a manual selection, but if that turned out to be wrong we'll have to add another select statement or two for the respective boards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
