[Intel IOMMU 07/10] Intel iommu cmdline option - forcedac

From: Keshavamurthy, Anil S
Date: Tue Jun 19 2007 - 18:19:41 EST


Introduce intel_iommu=forcedac commandline option.
This option is helpful to verify the pci device capability
of handling physical dma'able address greater than 4G.

+ With this option iommu will not optimize to look
+ for io virtual address below 32 bit forcing dual
+ address cycle on pci bus for cards supporting greater
+ than 32 bit addressing. The default is to look
+ for translation below 32 bit and if not available
+ then look in the higher range.
