Dear mailinglist,

I own a Gigabyte motherboard GA 970A UD3 with IOMMU support. Since the 
update XSA-36 (also part of the latest debian wheezy pkg), the 
IO-Virtualisation does not work any more as discussed on this 
mailinglist [0] and [1].

I like to ask, if there is an "official" solution in sight.

I'm not sure about my alternatives. How "dangerous" is the mentioned IRQ 
sharing in [1]? May I just live with the NorthBridge disabled IOAPIC?
