+ 64k,...,8M - Set the size of each PCI slot's translation table
+ when using the Calgary IOMMU. This is the size of the translation
+ table itself in main memory. The smallest table, 64k, covers an IO
+ space of 32MB; the largest, 8MB table, can cover an IO space of
+ 4GB. Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
+
+ translate_empty_slots - Enable translation even on slots that have
+ no devices attached to them, in case a device will be hotplugged
+ in the future.
+
+ disable=<PCI bus number> - Disable translation on a given PHB. For
+ example, the built-in graphics adapter resides on the first bridge
+ (PCI bus number 0); if translation (isolation) is enabled on this
+ bridge, X servers that access the hardware directly from user
+ space might stop working. Use this option if you have devices that
+ are accessed from userspace directly on some PCI host bridge.
