-config IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO
- bool "Use PCI DMA by default when available"
- ---help---
- Prior to kernel version 2.1.112, Linux used to automatically use
- DMA for IDE drives and chipsets which support it. Due to concerns
- about a couple of cases where buggy hardware may have caused damage,
- the default is now to NOT use DMA automatically. To revert to the
- previous behaviour, say Y to this question.
-
- If you suspect your hardware is at all flakey, say N here.
- Do NOT email the IDE kernel people regarding this issue!

- It is normally safe to answer Y to this question unless your
- motherboard uses a VIA VP2 chipset, in which case you should say N.

config IDEDMA_ONLYDISK
bool "Enable DMA only for disks "

help
This is used if you know your ATAPI Devices are going to fail DMA
Transfers.
Say Y here if you want to add DMA (Direct Memory Access) support to
the ICS IDE driver.

It is normally safe to answer Y; however, the default is N.
