description="""
With the push of virtualization, the x86 world started recently to gain a more
widespread attention towards supporting IOMMUs; similar to MMUs that translate
virtual addresses into physical ones, an IOMMU translates device/bus addresses
into physical addresses. The purpose of this project is to add AMD and Intel
IOMMU support in NetBSD's machine-independent bus abstraction layers
bus.space(9) and bus.dma(9).
