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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	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.
