Nothing special, just running dsa_user_test_runner.sh from idxd-config
(3.4.6.3) with intel_iommu=on,sm_on (default is lazy dma domain) on an
Intel supplied SPR system. During the run there is a dmar fault, halts
the device with it needing an flr reset. That is where the deadlock was
noticed. Then after the dsa_user_runner.sh fails, if you do modprobe -r
idxd, you hit the warning in devm_iounmap().

The idxd_device_reinit() case I haven't reproduced, I'm just looking at
the code.

I should note that I've only run into an issue with that model
of system. The other models of SPR systems don't hit an issue. This is
with a 6.0-rc1 kernel, and our kernel. I'm guessing there is an issue
with that model of system/fw. I've seen both fault reasons 0x50 and
0x58 when it faults.
