Going to get this into the Fedora kernels ASAP, definitely looks like
it'll at least help w/the IOMMU issues.

Nb: from what I recall, I saw such problems on an 8-way opteron pretty
frequently with a debug-enabled kernel, haven't seen it on the same
box running a release kernel (but also haven't tried the bug reporters
reproducer).
