H A Dintel_iommu_internal.hdiff 37f51384ae05bd50f83308339dbffa3e78404874 Tue Nov 14 17:13:50 CST 2017 Prasad Singamsetty <prasad.singamsetty@oracle.com> intel-iommu: Extend address width to 48 bits

The current implementation of Intel IOMMU code only supports 39 bits
iova address width. This patch provides a new parameter (x-aw-bits)
for intel-iommu to extend its address width to 48 bits but keeping the
default the same (39 bits). The reason for not changing the default
is to avoid potential compatibility problems with live migration of
intel-iommu enabled QEMU guest. The only valid values for 'x-aw-bits'
parameter are 39 and 48.

After enabling larger address width (48), we should be able to map
larger iova addresses in the guest. For example, a QEMU guest that
is configured with large memory ( >=1TB ). To check whether 48 bits
aw is enabled, we can grep in the guest dmesg output with line:
"DMAR: Host address width 48".
