Intel vt-d spec rev3.0 requires software to use 256-bit descriptors in invalidation queue. As the spec reads in section 6.5.2: Remapping hardware supporting Scalable Mode Translations (ECAP_REG.SMTS=1) allow software to additionally program the width of the descriptors (128-bits or 256-bits) that will be written into the Queue. Software should setup the Invalidation Queue for 256-bit descriptors before progra- mming remapping hardware for scalable-mode translation as 128-bit descriptors are treated as invalid descriptors (see Table 21 in Section 6.5.2.10) in scalable-mode. This patch adds 256-bit invalidation descriptor support if the hardware presents scalable mode capability.

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.
