+	  Enable support for VFIO PCI extensions that allow exporting
+	  device MMIO regions as DMA-BUFs for peer devices to access via
+	  peer-to-peer (P2P) DMA.
+
+	  This feature enables a VFIO-managed PCI device to export a portion
+	  of its MMIO BAR as a DMA-BUF file descriptor, which can be passed
+	  to other userspace drivers or kernel subsystems capable of
+	  initiating DMA to that region.
+
+	  Say Y here if you want to enable VFIO DMABUF-based MMIO export
+	  support for peer-to-peer DMA use cases.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
