12 help
13 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
14 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const data.
15 This option may have a slight performance impact because a portion
16 of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore.
17 If in doubt, say "N".

22 help
23 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
24 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
25 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
26 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
27 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
28 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
29 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
30 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
31 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
32 details.

39 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
40 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
