Basic stuff
-----------
unity mappings for these regions for these devices to access these regions.
How is IOVA generated?
----------------------
+----------------------
Well behaved drivers call pci_map_*() calls before sending command to device
that needs to perform DMA. Once DMA is completed and mapping is no longer
ACPI: DMAR (v001 A M I OEMDMAR 0x00000001 MSFT 0x00000097) @ 0x000000007f5b5ef0
When DMAR is being processed and initialized by ACPI, prints DMAR locations
-and any RMRR's processed.
+and any RMRR's processed::
-ACPI DMAR:Host address width 36
-ACPI DMAR:DRHD (flags: 0x00000000)base: 0x00000000fed90000

When DMAR is enabled for use, you will notice..
