I just found out that setting swiotlb=128 in dom0 grub.conf allowed me to run my mythtv domU with additonal options to ivtv:
in /etc/modprobe.d/options
options ivtv enc_mpg_buffers=8

Setting this to any higher value causes a kernel panic.   I want to be able to specify
options ivtv enc_mpg_buffers=16 enc_vbi_buffers=8

How much swiotlb do I need? Is there a way to figure this out or is it just trial and error.

Thanks
Chris
