From cea9c2d238f5adaae8afa0b20aa5fb91d694c954 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 15:49:45 +0100 Subject: iommu/amd: Put IOMMUv2 capable devices in pt_domain If the device starts to use IOMMUv2 features the dma handles need to stay valid. The only sane way to do this is to use a identity mapping for the device and not translate it by the iommu. This is implemented with this patch. Since this lifts the device-isolation there is also a new kernel parameter which allows to disable that feature.
