Keir,
The reason I suggested to backport is that xen3.3 provides complete amd
iommu support already and as AMD will release iommu in the future, if
people still use xen3.3 at that time, it would be better to have this
fix. Actually, this fix only affects amd iommu portion, the backport
effort should be very little and I would not think it will break
stability of xen33. 

Thanks,
-Wei
