  *. Disables the XOR parity calculation offload, if fsldma enabled
     either as kernel in-built or as a module
  *. Once the inter-operability with fsldma is resolved, this option

wait, why can't the interoperability bug be fixed in the first place?

I agree w/Kim.  We need to better understand what the bug is and how to reproduce it so we can get to the root cause.

Paper taping over it by disabling fsldma is not the right solution.

Hopefully this prompts fsldma authors to get involved because the interoperability issue has been out there without comment*, just band-aids, since October.
