Re: [PATCH] ata: libata depends on HAS_DMA

Hi,

Currently, the only architectures that don't set HAS_DMA are h8300, m32r
m68k (except SUN3 and Coldfire), microblaze and s390.
s390 will never get it, microblaze is currently implementing dma-mapping.h.

The other three are still using drivers/ide instead of drivers/ata.

One way to fix this would be to implement dma-mapping.h in h8300, m32r and
m68k and leave !HAS_DMA as the obscure s390 case (this one already can't
use ATA because of !HAS_MMIO).

If I'm reading the m68k code correctly, SUN3 is the one that doesn't have
DMA. It is implemented on any m68k with a standard Motorola MMU. It might
be possible to get the DMA code working on a sun3, but I doubt they ever
have IDE hardware.

The Atari IDE interface does not use DMA. I don't see what addition of DMA 
mapping for IDE would achieve. 

If it doesn't interfere with plain PIO mode, fine.
