I think this should be quarantine=[<bool>|scratch-page], as just using
iommu=quarantine is a valid syntax and will enable basic quarantine.
IOW: the bool or scratch-page parameters are optional.

Do we also want to state that the current build time default is BASIC
if the user hasn't selected otherwise?

It's kind of problematic though, as distros might select a different
build time default and then the documentation would be out of sync.

Thanks, Roger.
