+	  Currently the IOVA framework automatically applies IOVA
+	  alignment to provided IOVAs based on the requested IOVA size and
+	  the alignment configs which are enabled.
+
+	  Some clients who don't require any IOVA alignment would
+	  benefit from the reduced fragmentation that would result from
+	  disabling IOVA alignment.
+
+	  Enable this option to allow clients to disable IOVA alignment on
+	  an IOMMU domain.
