It couldn't have been, since it was selected by another kconfig option. defconfigs only hold non-default options. > However, that select statement also means that we can't build a 32-bit > kernel.

The patches from me > and Leo don't do that. Yes, or maybe make it "default y", and/or require an "I know what I'm doing" option to be set for it to be unset if a board otherwise wants it. The ability to turn it off is potentially useful for any board, since the address map is determined by boot software which can be changed, but we shouldn't make it too easy to fail to select it for boards that normally require it. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
