2010-08-14Documentation: DMA-API-HOWTO.txt: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ↵FUJITA Tomonori1-3/+3
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was renamed to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (the commit a6eb9fe105d5de0053b261148cee56c94b4720ca). ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be defined instead of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe.
