Support the K8 IOMMU. Needed to run systems with more than 4GB of memory
Support the IOMMU. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC (Double Address
Cycle). The IOMMU can be turned off at runtime with the iommu=off parameter.
Normally the kernel will take the right choice by itself.
This option includes a driver for the AMD Opteron/Athlon64 IOMMU
and a software emulation used on some other systems.
If unsure, say Y.
# need this always enabled with GART_IOMMU for the VIA workaround
