If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times.

It is absolutely inappropriate to do this in the kernel that has
crashed.

Either reserve a chunk of the iommu for use by the crash dump kernel,
or figure out how to do this during boot up.

But this is absolutely and totally inappropriate to do in crash_kexec.
The failure modes are all wrong.  It will impact the reliability of our
crash dumps.

If an the code for a linux architecture is not structured in such a way
as to make it easy or straight forward to do this my sympathies you are
going to have do fix that linux port to be able to do things during
boot.

But things called from crash_kexec should be absolute necessities and I
do not see this as coming anywhere close to being something that is
impossible to do in the target kernel.
