+Request Device Assignment without IOMMU support
+===============================================
+
+*WARNING:
+Users should be aware that it is not always secure to assign a device without
+IOMMU protection.
+When the device is not protected by the IOMMU, the administrator should make
+sure that:
+ 1. The device is assigned to a trusted guest.
+ 2. Users have additional security mechanism on the platform.
+
+
+This document assumes that the IOMMU is absent from the system or it is
+disabled (status = "disabled" in device tree).
+
+
+Add xen,force-assign-without-iommu; to the device tree snippet:
+
+ethernet: ethernet@ff0e0000 {
+	compatible = "cdns,zynqmp-gem";
+	xen,path = "/amba/ethernet@ff0e0000";
+	xen,reg = <0x0 0xff0e0000 0x1000 0x0 0xff0e0000>;
+	xen,force-assign-without-iommu;
+};
+
+Request 1:1 memory mapping for the domain on static allocation
+==============================================================
+
+Add a direct-map property under the appropriate /chosen/domU node which
+is also statically allocated with physical memory ranges through
+xen,static-mem property as its guest RAM.
+
+Below is an example on how to specify the 1:1 memory mapping for the domain
+on static allocation in the device-tree:
+
+/ {
+	chosen {
+		domU1 {
+			compatible = "xen,domain";
+			#address-cells = <0x2>;
+			#size-cells = <0x2>;
+			cpus = <2>;
+			memory = <0x0 0x80000>;
+			#xen,static-mem-address-cells = <0x1>;
+			#xen,static-mem-size-cells = <0x1>;
+			xen,static-mem = <0x30000000 0x20000000>;
+			direct-map;
+			...
+		};
+	};
+};
+
+Besides reserving a 512MB region starting at the host physical address
+0x30000000 to DomU1, it also requests 1:1 memory mapping.
