This happens in the latest git, right?

Is this a regression (what kernel version worked)?


Seems that the IOMMU can't find 128 pages. It's likely due to:

- out of the IOMMU space (possibly someone doesn't free the IOMMU
  space).

or

- the mapping parameters (such as align) aren't appropriate so the
  IOMMU can't find space.

I've attached a patch to print the debug info about the mapping
parameters.
