[PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Calgary specific bits
This patch hooks Calgary into the build, the x86-64 IOMMU initialization paths, and introduces the Calgary specific bits. The implementation draws inspiration from both PPC (which has support for the same chip but requires firmware support which we don't have on x86-64) and gart. Calgary is different from gart in that it support a translation table per PHB, as opposed to the single gart aperture. Changes from previous version: * Addition of boot-time disablement for bus-level translation/isolation (e.g, enable userspace DMA for things like X) * Usage of newer IOMMU abstraction functions Signed-off-by: Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jdmason@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

414 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
415 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
416 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
417 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
418 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
419 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
420 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
421 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
422 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
423 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
424 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
425 If unsure, say Y.
