Do you mean that even though your hardware is specifically listed in
the quirk table, the quirk simply hasn't worked for you? That would be
unfortunate, to say the least.

The fedora kernel included a separate patch for this issue until
recently (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880051).  It
basically just disabled DMAR when the Ricoh device is present, the
same as the patch to the mailing list you mentioned.

Is the dirty fix you're referring to comment 7?
