FWIW it doesn't surprise me that there might still be bugs lurking in 
the IOMMU driver's relatively recent changes for packing 40-bit physical 
addresses into 32-bit pagetable entries and registers - that sort of 
thing is always tricky to get right. You're correct that that's 
something that wants debugging in its own right, though.
