From 8c4dd6068221cd1d0d90490ace80eb4344914a8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Gardner Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:02:45 -0700 Subject: edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off} Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services. CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into the kernel. Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as a kernel parameter.
