I added some tracer in the hypervisor and found that the screen gets patterned
when calling iommu_enable_translation() for the graphics device.

  -> Here the screen gets patterned after setting the DMA_GCMD_TE bit.

My test machine is a laptop with a Intel cpu "i5 M540" and a "Intel QM57"
chipset.
If anybody owns such a hardware and VT-d is working with the graphics device
then please set iommu=verbose on the Xen command line and send me the
(XEN)... logging of the serial console or "xm dmesg" output.
Thanks.

Dietmar.
