The current implementation of Intel IOMMU code only supports 39 bits iova address width. This patch provides a new parameter (x-aw-bits) for intel-iommu to extend its address width to 48 bits but keeping the default the same (39 bits). The reason for not changing the default is to avoid potential compatibility problems with live migration of intel-iommu enabled QEMU guest. The only valid values for 'x-aw-bits' parameter are 39 and 48. After enabling larger address width (48), we should be able to map larger iova addresses in the guest. For example, a QEMU guest that is configured with large memory ( >=1TB ). To check whether 48 bits aw is enabled, we can grep in the guest dmesg output with line: "DMAR: Host address width 48".
