Document arm-smmuv3 properties for setting HW-acceleration,
Range Invalidation, and Address Translation Services support, as
well as setting Output Address size and Substream ID size.

``aw-bits=val`` (val between 32 and 64, default depends on machine)
This decides the address width of the IOVA address space.
-``-device arm-smmuv3,primary-bus=id``
+``-device arm-smmuv3,primary-bus=id[,option=...]``
This is only supported by ``-machine virt`` (ARM).
``primary-bus=id``
Accepts either the default root complex (pcie.0) or a
pxb-pcie based root complex.
+ ``accel=on|off`` (default: off)
+ Enables guest to leverage host SMMUv3 features for acceleration.
+ Enabling accel configures the host SMMUv3 in nested mode to support
+ vfio-pci passthrough.
+
+ The following options are available when accel=on.
+ Note: 'auto' mode is not currently supported.
+
+ ``ril=on|off`` (default: on)
+ Support for Range Invalidation, which allows the SMMUv3 driver to
+ invalidate TLB entries for a range of IOVAs at once instead of issuing
+ separate commands to invalidate each page. Must match with host SMMUv3
+ Range Invalidation support.
+
+ ``ats=on|off`` (default: off)
+ Support for Address Translation Services, which enables PCIe devices to
+ cache address translations in their local TLB and reduce latency. Host
+ SMMUv3 must support ATS in order to enable this feature for the vIOMMU.
+
+ ``oas=val`` (supported values are 44 and 48. default: 44)
+ Sets the Output Address Size in bits. The value set here must be less
+ than or equal to the host SMMUv3's supported OAS, so that the
+ intermediate physical addresses (IPA) consumed by host SMMU for stage-2
+ translation do not exceed the host's max supported IPA size.
+
+ ``ssidsize=val`` (val between 0 and 20. default: 0)
+ Sets the Substream ID size in bits. When set to a non-zero value,
+ PASID capability is advertised to the vIOMMU and accelerated use cases
+ such as Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) are supported.
+
``-device amd-iommu[,option=...]``
Enables emulation of an AMD-Vi I/O Memory Management Unit (IOMMU).
Only available with ``-machine q35``, it supports the following options:
