I'm inferring from the subject line that you mean kexec, not
"rebooting"?

It looks like a peripheral device is being left active and doing DMA by
the previous kernel, rather than being shut down. So as soon as the new
kernel resets the IOMMU mappings, that peripheral device is causing
faults.

We really ought to rate-limit the faults and isolate the offending
device before there are 21,000 of them. As discussed elsewhere recently,
we could do with a way to tell the PCI layer that it offended us but I
suppose we could at *least* stop the IOMMU from reporting faults for it.

Is this new behaviour? I'm not sure why this should have changed...
