r8169: enable 64-bit DMA by default for PCI Express devices (v2)
Currently use of 64-bit DMA is disabled in r8169 unless the user passes the use_dac module option. This is reasonable for conventional PCI devices where broken chipsets may not handle dual-address-cycle transfers properly for 32-bit slots and so this may not be safe. However, PCI Express should not have this problem and not using 64-bit DMA results in DMA transfers needlessly using the IOMMU or SWIOTLB. Set the use_dac module parameter to a new default value of -1 which results in 64-bit DMA being enabled by default for PCI Express devices only.
