I also don't like it. Maybe "activation"? But I think it's not much better. […]
maybe: Preparations to minimize enabling PCI bus mastering in coreboot
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/47409/1/Documentation/releases/core... PS1, Line 63: The configuration of PCI bus mastering will be dropped in a future release.
Not sure, but I think so since coreboot does not need it? […]
I'd reword this to feel less absolute, e.g. {minimize, reduce, cut down on} Bus Master usage (instead of dropping it altogether). I'm not sure if eliminating everything will be possible without causing troubles for some people.
[Random brain dump] If I try to achieve "complete" goals (e.g. finish all parts of $complex_task), I will quickly be overwhelmed (oh no I've got to do ALL of this AAAAAAAA) and then fail at getting anything done at all. This is why I prefer more humble, less spectacular goals (e.g. do the first part of $complex_task): as these goals are reasonable to achieve, so I can convince myself to get them done.
