- in main memory. The smallest table, 64k, covers an IO space of

- calgary=[disable=<PCI bus number>]
- Disable translation on a given PHB. For
- example, the built-in graphics adapter resides on the first bridge
- (PCI bus number 0); if translation (isolation) is enabled on this

- space might stop working. Use this option if you have devices that
