[PATCH 0/10] iommu/vt-d: Fix intel vt-d faults in kdump kernel

Hi Takao Indoh,

Thank you very much for your testing. I will add your update in next
version.
Also I think a flush for __iommu_update_old_root_entry is also necessary.

Currently I have no idea about your fault, does it happen before or
during its loading? Could you send me your full kernel log as an
attachment?

Regards and Merry Christmas.
Zhenhua
