Select this to get support for AMD IOMMU hardware in your system.
|
||||
With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
|
||||
your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
|
||||
remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
|
||||
can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
|
||||
system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
|
||||
your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
|
||||
table.
