Christoph Lameter 5ac6da669e [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA 
As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).

In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more
than one CPU, say Y.
If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
will run faster if you say N here.
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

SPARC is a family of RISC microprocessors designed and marketed by
Sun Microsystems, incorporated. They are very widely found in Sun
workstations and clones. This port covers the original 32-bit SPARC;
it is old and stable and usually considered one of the "big three"
along with the Intel and Alpha ports. The UltraLinux project
maintains both the SPARC32 and SPARC64 ports; its web page is
available at <http://www.ultralinux.org/>.

---help---
Say Y here if you want to attach PCMCIA- or PC-cards to your Linux
computer. These are credit-card size devices such as network cards,
modems or hard drives often used with laptops computers. There are
actually two varieties of these cards: the older 16 bit PCMCIA cards
and the newer 32 bit CardBus cards. If you want to use CardBus
cards, you need to say Y here and also to "CardBus support" below.
To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
for location). Please also read the PCMCIA-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as modules, choose M here: the
modules will be called pcmcia_core and ds.

config SERIAL_CONSOLE

---help---
If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
system console (the system console is the device which receives all
kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
to that serial port.
Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
(/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader (silo) about how to pass options to the kernel at
boot time.)
If you don't have a graphics card installed and you say Y here, the
kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
system console.
If unsure, say N.

a kernel compiled with this option will run only on sun4.
(And the current version will probably work only on sun4/330.)

All of these platforms are extremely obscure, so say N if unsure.

If you say Y, the OpenPROM device tree will be available as a
virtual file system, which you can mount to /proc/openprom by "mount
-t openpromfs none /proc/openprom".
To compile the /proc/openprom support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called openpromfs.
Only choose N if you know in advance that you will not need to modify
OpenPROM settings on the running system.

This allows you to run most SunOS binaries. If you want to do this,
say Y here and place appropriate files in /usr/gnemul/sunos. See

want to run SunOS binaries on an Ultra you must also say Y to
"Kernel support for 32-bit a.out binaries" above.

menu "Unix98 PTY support"
config UNIX98_PTYS
bool "Unix98 PTY support"
---help---
A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
and xterms.
Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
The entries in /dev/pts/ are created on the fly by a virtual
file system; therefore, if you say Y here you should say Y to
"/dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs" as well.
If you want to say Y here, you need to have the C library glibc 2.1
or later (equal to libc-6.1, check with "ls -l /lib/libc.so.*").
Read the instructions in <file:Documentation/Changes> pertaining to
pseudo terminals. It's safe to say N.
config UNIX98_PTY_COUNT
int "Maximum number of Unix98 PTYs in use (0-2048)"
depends on UNIX98_PTYS
default "256"
help
The maximum number of Unix98 PTYs that can be used at any one time.
The default is 256, and should be enough for desktop systems. Server
machines which support incoming telnet/rlogin/ssh connections and/or
serve several X terminals may want to increase this: every incoming
connection and every xterm uses up one PTY.
When not in use, each additional set of 256 PTYs occupy
approximately 8 KB of kernel memory on 32-bit architectures.
