This patch corrects recently changed (and now invalid) Kconfig descriptions for the DMA engine framework: - Non-Intel(R) hardware also has DMA engines; - DMA is used for more than memcpy and RAID offloading. In fact, on most platforms memcpy and RAID aren't factors, and DMA exists so that peripherals can transfer data to/from memory while the CPU does other work.

DMA engines can do asynchronous data transfers without
|
|
involving the host CPU. Currently, this framework can be
|
|
used to offload memory copies in the network stack and
|
|
RAID operations in the MD driver.

This enables the use of DMA engines in the network stack to
|
|
offload receive copy-to-user operations, freeing CPU cycles.
|
|
Since this is the main user of the DMA engine, it should be enabled;
|
|
say Y here.
