Booting Linux on an ARM fastmodel containing an SMMU emulation results
in an unexpected I/O page fault from the legacy virtio-blk PCI device:

<system hangs failing to read partition table>
This is because the legacy virtio-blk device is behind an SMMU, so we
have consequently swizzled its DMA ops and configured the SMMU to
translate accesses. This then requires the vring code to use the DMA API
to establish translations, otherwise all transactions will result in
fatal faults and termination.
Given that ARM-based systems only see an SMMU if one is really present
(the topology is all described by firmware tables such as device-tree or
IORT), then we can safely use the DMA API for all legacy virtio devices.
Modern devices can advertise the prescense of an IOMMU using the
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM feature flag.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
