x86: default to SWIOTLB=y on x86_64
Impact: fixes korg bugzilla 11980 A kernel for a 64bit x86 system should always contain the swiotlb code in case it is booted on a machine without any hardware IOMMU supported by the kernel and more than 4GB of RAM. This patch changes Kconfig to always compile swiotlb into the kernel for x86_64. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
