Sorry, I misremembered the sequence of events. I think wasn't using the default
at the time of the aacraid crash a year ago.
So to better answer your question, I wasn't using the default because back in
2007 when this system was running an OpenSUSE dom0 kernel, the swiotlb
parameter was required in order to make aacraid work at all. Everything has
been upgraded since but the kernel arguments were never revisited. The bug may
well be invalid. I need to do some more tests.
Regarding the 64 MB default, is that 512 x 128 K or 8192 x 8K? Is it equivalent
to swiotlb=nslabs=8192? And is that the same as swiotlb=8192?
