When I reviewed Marc's fw_cfg DMA patches, I completely missed that the
way we set dma_enabled would break migration.
Gerd explained the right way (see reference below): dma_enabled should be
set to true by default, and only true->false transitions should be
possible:
- when the user requests that with
-global fw_cfg_mem.dma_enabled=off
or
-global fw_cfg_io.dma_enabled=off
as appropriate for the platform,
- when HW_COMPAT_2_4 dictates it,
- when board code initializes fw_cfg without requesting DMA support.
