Oh, you have no idea.  Not only is my productivity crippled by Lotus 
Notes, our PCs are all locked down with GuardianEdge's "transparent" 
encryption... which only has Windows client software...  which means if I 
copy that patch onto my thumb drive (or even burn it to a CD!) it ends up 
encrypted.  And then I have to take it to a windows box on our internal 
network so I can decrypt it and ftp it over to my Linux box...  sigh.

Will try it.  So domUs not requiring PCI passthrough will boot with 
SWIOTLB disabled and in order to get PCI passthrough working we'll have to 
add 'iommu=soft' to the domU kernel args in addition to the normal 
pci=[XX:YY:ZZ] line?  Just want to make sure I'm following all this. 
Thanks!
