The commit 8950dcd83a ("iommu/vt-d: Leave scalable mode default off")
leaves the scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with
"intel_iommu=sm_on". Using the Intel IOMMU scalable mode for kernel DMA,
user-level device access and Shared Virtual Address have been enabled.
This enables the scalable mode by default if the hardware advertises the
support and adds kernel options of "intel_iommu=sm_on/sm_off" for end
users to configure it through the kernel parameters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
