Caveats specific to seL4 on ia32 and ia64

Intel VT-d (I/O MMU) support

Intel VT-d support in seL4 was tested for the following chipsets:

• Intel Q35 Express
• Intel 5500

On other chipsets with Intel VT-d support, seL4 might:

• complain and disable IOMMU support
• hang during bootstrapping
• have some weird behaviour during runtime

In any case, the workaround is to disable VT-d support, either:

• in the BIOS, or
• by including disable_iommu into the MultiBoot (e.g. GRUB) command line as described in the seL4 documentation
