+ This builds sbp2 for use with non-OHCI host adapters which do not
+ support physical DMA or for when ohci1394 is run with phys_dma=0.
+ Physical DMA is data movement without assistence of the drivers'
+ interrupt handlers. This option includes the interrupt handlers
+ that are required in absence of this hardware feature.
+
+ This option is buggy and currently broken on some architectures.
+ If unsure, say N.
