Intel IOMMU: Intel IOMMU driver
Actual intel IOMMU driver. Hardware spec can be found at: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization This driver sets X86_64 'dma_ops', so hook into standard DMA APIs. In this way, PCI driver will get virtual DMA address. This change is transparent to PCI drivers.

779 By default, gfx is mapped as normal device. If a gfx
780 device has a dedicated DMAR unit, the DMAR unit is
781 bypassed by not enabling DMAR with this option. In
782 this case, gfx device will use physical address for
