Subject: [PATCH] iommu: Add config option to set passthrough as default
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2018 11:02:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180720180223.29573-1-olof@lixom.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180711205936.18614-1-olof@lixom.net>

This allows the default behavior to be controlled by a kernel config
option instead of changing the commandline for the kernel to include
"iommu.passthrough=on" or "iommu=pt" on machines where this is desired.

Likewise, for machines where this config option is enabled, it can be
disabled at boot time with "iommu.passthrough=off" or "iommu=nopt".

Also corrected iommu=pt documentation for IA-64, since it has no code that
parses iommu= at all.

Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
---

Chances since v1:
 - Added analogous behavior for Intel/AMD
 - Added iommu=nopt for x86 and updated docs
