- Support for hardware IOMMU in AMD's Opteron/Athlon64 Processors
- and for the bounce buffering software 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
- northbridge and a software emulation used on other systems without
- hardware IOMMU. If unsure, say Y.

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
