No freezes for >22h, seems to be fine.

The systems seems to run stable with CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT=n set, too. This is
expected.
However: unlike during earlier tests when I disabled IOMMU and Intel IOMMU via
kernel/boot parameters, I am not seeing any DMA mapping errors.

There seems to be a difference between disabling IOMMU/Intel IOMMU statically in
the kernel compared to disabling it via kernel parameter. Is this another bug?

I've attached both kernel ring buffer logs (minus the timings for easier diffing.)

  [*] kern-new-iommu_off.log.bz2 disables IOMMU and Intel IOMMU via boot parameter
  [*] kern-iommu_static_off.log.bz2 has CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT=n set and any IOMMU
support statically disabled (also consequently DMAR)
