First-level translation restricts the input-address to a canonical address (i.e., address bits 63:N have the same value as address bit [N-1], where N is 48-bits with 4-level paging and 57-bits with 5-level paging). (section 3.6 in the spec) This makes first level IOVA canonical by using IOVA with bit [N-1] always cleared.

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.
