firewire: ohci: Turn remote DMA support into a module parameter
This makes it possible to debug kernel over FireWire without the need to recompile it. [Stefan R: changed description from "...0" to "...N"] Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

The firewire-ohci driver in drivers/firewire uses filtered physical
DMA by default, which is more secure but not suitable for remote debugging.
-Compile the driver with CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI_REMOTE_DMA (Kernel hacking menu:
-Remote debugging over FireWire with firewire-ohci) to get unfiltered physical
-DMA.
+Pass the remote_dma=1 parameter to the driver to get unfiltered physical DMA.
Because the firewire-ohci driver depends on the PCI enumeration to be
completed, an initialization routine which runs pretty early has been
