Given other threads on this mail list (and I've seen crashes with same problem)
where this type of logging during a flood of IOMMU errors will lock up the machine,
is there something that can be done to break the do-while loop after n iterations
have been exec'd, so the kernel can progress during a crash ?

In the case of an IOMMU error flood this loop will only run until the
event-log/ppr-log overflows. So it should not turn into an endless loop.
