Yes, I'm closely following the issue. I actually have a workaround 
(attached) but haven't submitted as it will probably raise a lot of 
eyebrows. In the mean time I'm following some discussions [1][2][3] on 
the iommu list which seem to try to tackle what appears to be a similar 
issue but with framebuffers. My hope is that we will be able to leverage 
whatever turns out.
In the mean time, can you try the workaround Leo suggested?
