    dma-debug: remove broken dma memory leak detection for 2.6.30 · 314eeac9
    Joerg Roedel authored
    
    The feature needs some more work because the notfier which is used to
    check for pending allocations is called before the device drivers
    ->remove() function. Therefore this feature reports false positives.
    
    A real fix for this issue is to introduce a new notifier event which sent
    _after_ the driver has deinitialized itself. That will done for the next
    kernel version.
    
    [ Impact: reduce the scope of CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y checks ]
