# HEAD: ced3c42c9fcba049ec9c76c8461ac194cafb20ba x86/iommu: Clean up the CONFIG_GART_IOMMU config option a bit
Make it easier to turn off the old AMD GART code.
Thanks,
Ingo

- 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 hardware 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.

+ Newer systems typically have a modern AMD IOMMU, supported via
+ the CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU=y config option.

+ In normal configurations this driver is only active when needed:
+ there's more than 3 GB of memory and the system contains a
+ 32-bit limited device.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
