> Subject: edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off}
> From: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com>
>
> 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.
