+          Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
+          for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
+          option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
+          all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
+          to use physical addresses for DMA, at least until this
+          option is removed in the 2.6.32 kernel.
