[PATCH v4 5/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: add bootup option "arm_iommu"

From: Zhen Lei <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-06 12:27:54
Also in: linux-iommu, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, iommu subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Joerg Roedel, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

Add a bootup option to make the system manager can choose which mode to
be used. The default mode is strict.
