This looks like your system's firmware might be buggy, which is what the
warning is all about.

From the kmesg:

> kern :info : [ 2.912758] DMAR: RMRR base: 0x0000009f271000 end: 0x0000009f290fff
> kern :info : [ 2.919226] DMAR: RMRR base: 0x000000a1800000 end: 0x000000a3ffffff

The e820 map has this:

> kern :info : [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000a0000000-0x00000000a00fffff] reserved
> kern :info : [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000f8000000-0x00000000fbffffff] reserved
> kern :info : [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fe000000-0x00000000fe010fff] reserved

The region 0xa1800000-0xa3ffffff isn't explicitly reserved (it's not
listed at all), which the IOMMU-folk say is the fault of the firmware.

My commit made it so that it merely spits out a warning, instead of
failing to use the IOMMU at all.

Thanks,

Barret
