+= Hardware & Software Requirements =
+ * Hardware IODMA enabled in BIOS and in the kernel. Linux SWIOTLB does not guarantee 4K aligned addresses which are required by the current hardware.
+  * In BIOS, Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi (AMD IOMMU) virtualization technologies have to be enabled.
+  * The Linux support of Intel VT-d is enabled with "intel_iommu=on" kernel parameter (alternative is to build kernel with CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON).
+  * To check if hardware IOMMU is used run {{{dmesg | grep -e IOMMU -e DMAR -e PCI-DMA}}}
+   * Following output indicates enabled hardware IOMMU ('''good''')
