> Subject: [PATCH] config: Enable NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE when SWIOTLB is selected
> 
> A huge amount of NIC drivers use the DMA API, however if compiled
> under 32-bit an very important part of the DMA API can be ommitted leading
> to the drivers not working at all (especially if used with
> 'swiotlb=force iommu=soft').
> 
> As Prashant Sreedharan explains it: "the driver [tg3] uses
> DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(), dma_unmap_addr_set() to keep a copy of the dma
> "mapping" and dma_unmap_addr() to get the "mapping" value. On most of
> the platforms this is a no-op, but ... with "iommu=soft and
> swiotlb=force" this house keeping is required, ... otherwise
> we pass 0 while calling pci_unmap_/pci_dma_sync_ instead of the
> DMA address."
> 
> As such enable this even when using 32-bit kernels.
