    dma-mapping: remove CONFIG_DMA_REMAP · f5ff79fd
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    CONFIG_DMA_REMAP is used to build a few helpers around the core
    vmalloc code, and to use them in case there is a highmem page in
    dma-direct, and to make dma coherent allocations be able to use
    non-contiguous pages allocations for DMA allocations in the dma-iommu
    layer.
    
    Right now it needs to be explicitly selected by architectures, and
    is only done so by architectures that require remapping to deal
    with devices that are not DMA coherent.  Make it unconditional for
    builds with CONFIG_MMU as it is very little extra code, but makes
    it much more likely that large DMA allocations succeed on x86.
    
    This fixes hot plugging a NVMe thunderbolt SSD for me, which tries
    to allocate a 1MB buffer that is otherwise hard to obtain due to
    memory fragmentation on a heavily used laptop.
