This makes no sense - the new numbers added aren't position
independent (nor were the previous <int> and "force").
Also you are (supposedly) removing all uses of
IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE, yet you don't seem to remove the
definition itself.
Finally - are arbitrary numbers really okay for the newly added
command line options? I.e. shouldn't you add some checking of
their validity?
