Hey Weidong,
Thank you the explanation. I am not that familiar with the VT-D chipset,
but it seems that this issue also appears with CardBus controllers:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/22/69 ?
For this device, the problem should also appear with the newer kernels
without using the Hypervisor and with CONFIG_DMAR enabled, right?
Am I to understand that the workaround you are proposing is doing
something akin to this:
