From 4ed0d3e6c64cfd9ba4ceb2099b10d1cf8ece4320 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fenghua Yu Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:30:20 -0700 Subject: Intel IOMMU Pass Through Support The patch adds kernel parameter intel_iommu=pt to set up pass through mode in context mapping entry. This disables DMAR in linux kernel; but KVM still runs on VT-d and interrupt remapping still works. In this mode, kernel uses swiotlb for DMA API functions but other VT-d functionalities are enabled for KVM. KVM always uses multi level translation page table in VT-d. By default, pass though mode is disabled in kernel. This is useful when people don't want to enable VT-d DMAR in kernel but still want to use KVM and interrupt remapping for reasons like DMAR performance concern or debug purpose.
