From 9e899816d126cc6f7d405c349f65363214fe7399 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:33:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86, mm: enable GBPAGES option by default DIRECT_GBPAGES was under DEBUG_KERNEL && EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by default. Turn it on by default and put it under EMBEDDED.
