And here's the result (without swiotlb=65536):
DEBUG: RETURNED REQUIRED MASK ffffffff DEBUG: SET 32 BIT ADDRESSING
(which doesn't look like a good thing, provided this machine has 6Gb of memory...)
It just crashed again, with the same message - in a few seconds after I mounted the filesystem in question. So back to swiotlb=65536 ;)
