STRUCT X86_INIT_IOMMU(9)
π struct x86_init_iommu(9) β a whole vibe from the Kernel API Manual
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct x86_init_iommu(9), aka the lil' hook where the platform gets to say "hey, here's how I wanna set up my IOMMU" β¨ it's one of those x86_init family structs, and honestly? it's giving "small but does exactly one job and does it iconically." π
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct x86_init_iommu β platform specific iommu setup π¦
like, literally that's the whole thing. the platform hands over its own iommu setup routine and the kernel calls it. no cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct x86_init_iommu {
int (*iommu_init)(void);
};
look at her. one member. zero drama. main character energy but make it minimal π

iommu_initβ platform specific iommu setup π this is the function pointer the platform fills in to do its own iommu setup. that's the entire job description, and she ate.

bestie, this struct does not roll alone β it's part of a whole squad of x86_init friends, all chillin' in the kernel file ./arch/x86/include/asm/x86_init.h π go say hi to:

iykyk π
ngl, if you only remember one thing: this struct is the platform's personal iommu-setup slot, and iommu_init is the one function pointer that lives there. periodt. π
aaaand that's the page, babe π§ β straight outta ./arch/x86/include/asm, dated October 2026, from the struct x86_init_iommu(9) girlies to you. mwah ππ
