I'm using Xen 3.4.2.  xm info doesn't have a 'node_to_dma32_mem' entry at 
all.  I wasn't setting dom0 memory constraints via grub before, so I tried 
adding dom0_mem=512M.  That makes free_memory=3533 on my system.  Still 
get the same panic.

Is iommu=off for dom0 or domU boot args.  If it's dom0, is it for the 
hypervisor or the kernel?  I've tried adding it to all 3 places, but I 
still get the same panic message.
