[PATCH 1/1] intel-iommu: Disable DMA Remapping when intel_iommu=off

From: Wei Hu
Date: Sat Apr 20 2013 - 02:58:31 EST


On a VT-d capable machine Linux will enable IOMMU by default. If it
then kexec's a second kernel with intel_iommu=off, this second kernel
will leave the DMA remapping engine on with no code handling it. The
symptom is at least USB and SATA drives stop working. This patch fixes
the problem by always disabling DMA remapping when intel_iommu=off.
