+    64k,...,8M - 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.
+
+    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.
+
+    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.
