+ Support the IOMMU. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC (Double Address

Normally the kernel will take the right choice by itself.
+ This option includes a driver for the AMD Opteron/Athlon64 IOMMU
+ and a software emulation used on some other systems.
If unsure, say Y.
