-      Set the size of each PCI slot's translation table when using the
-      Calgary IOMMU. This is the size of the translation table itself
-      in main memory. The smallest table, 64k, covers an IO space of
-      32MB; the largest, 8MB table, can cover an IO space of 4GB.
-      Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
-    calgary=[translate_empty_slots]
-      Enable translation even on slots that have no devices attached to
-      them, in case a device will be hotplugged in the future.
-    calgary=[disable=<PCI bus number>]
-      Disable translation on a given PHB. For
-      example, the built-in graphics adapter resides on the first bridge
-      (PCI bus number 0); if translation (isolation) is enabled on this
-      bridge, X servers that access the hardware directly from user
-      space might stop working. Use this option if you have devices that
-      are accessed from userspace directly on some PCI host bridge.
