-          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.

-# need this always selected by GART_IOMMU for the VIA workaround
+          Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
+          on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
+          sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
+          Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
+          based IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used on Intel
+          systems and as fallback.
+          The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited
+          device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified
+          too.
