+3) Supporting multiple types of IOMMUs
+
+   If your architecture needs to support multiple types of IOMMUs, you
+   can use include/linux/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h. It's a
+   library to support the DMA API with multiple types of IOMMUs. Lots
+   of architectures (x86, powerpc, sh, alpha, ia64, microblaze and
+   sparc) use it. Choose one to see how it can be used. If you need to
+   support multiple types of IOMMUs in a single system, the example of
+   x86 or powerpc helps.
