I am not so sure about Calgary, but we have other parameters for > iommu= which doesn't affect all hardware IOMMUs. Calgary can't use fullflush, but in general the more unified our IOMMU options, the better for the users. It's a pain to have to remember which option applies to which IOMMU implementation.
