[PATCH 0/5] iommu/vt-d: Fix crash dump failure caused by legacy DMA/IO

[Li, ZhenHua]

Joerg,

After I implement these two steps, there comes a new fault:

[1.594890] dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
[1.594894] dmar: INTR-REMAP: Request device [[41:00.0] fault index 4d
[1.594894] INTR-REMAP:[fault reason 34] Present field in the IRTE entry
is clear

It is caused by similar reason, so I will fix it like fixing the DMAR
faults: Do NOT disable and re-enable the interrupt remapping, try to
use data from old kernel.


Thanks
Zhenhua
