+ Sets the default size of the software IO TLB (SWIOTLB) bounce buffer
+ pool allocated at boot time. The default is 64 MB.
+
+ On memory-constrained embedded or mobile platforms (e.g., those with
+ a hardware IOMMU such as ARM SMMU covering most DMA-capable devices),
+ a smaller value such as 4 or 8 MB may be sufficient. The SWIOTLB is
+ then only needed for devices that bypass the IOMMU or have restricted
+ DMA address ranges.
+
+ The minimum allowed value is 1 MB. This compile-time default can be
+ overridden at runtime using the "swiotlb=<nslabs>" kernel command line
+ parameter. Refer to Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
+ for details.
+
+ If unsure, leave at the default value of 64.
