From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Please consider applying this patch, I would consider it critical for x86-64. The 2.6.0 x86-64 IOMMU code unfortunately had a few problems, leading to non booting systems and in a few cases to data corruption. It fixes a two serious bugs in handling special kinds of scatter gather lists in pci_map_sg. AGP was completely broken with IOMMU because of a wrong #ifdef. Fix that. One TLB flush optimization I did a long time ago seems to break on some 3ware boards (who require IOMMU because they don't support 64bit addresses). The breakage lead to data corruption. This patch diables the optimization for now and fixes a potential SMP race in the flush code too. The TLB flush is done in a slower, but more reliable way now too. This patch fixes them. Please consider applying, because some of these problems hit quite many people. This also disables the IOMMU_DEBUG in the defconfig. A lot of people were using the IOMMU when they didn't need to, which multiplied the problems. IOMMU merge is disabled for now. This was an experimental optimization which helped with some block devices, but for production it seems to be better to disable it for now because there are some questionable corner cases when the IOMMU aperture fragments. The same is done for IOMMU SAC force, which was related to that. i386 has quite broken semantics for pci_alloc_consistent(). It uses the standard device DMA mask instead of the consistent mask. Make us bug-to-bug compatible here. This fixes problems with some sound drivers that don't support full 32bit addressing.
