One of my coworkers who is also experiencing the problem bisected it down to:

   x86: Gart: fix breakage due to IOMMU initialization cleanup

   This fixes the following breakage of the commit
   75f1cdf1dda92cae037ec848ae63690d91913eac:

   - GART systems that don't AGP with broken BIOS and more than 4GB
     memory are forced to use swiotlb. They can allocate aperture by
     hand and use GART.

   - GART systems without GAP must disable GART on shutdown.

   - swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option,
     gart_iommu_hole_init() is not called, so we disable GART
     early_gart_iommu_check().
