Yes, the code is designed to shutdown the IOMMU. The problem we're
seeing is if there are sill in-flight DMA transfers happening when we
shutdown the IOMMU an MCA will occur.
Ring now we're working on a different approach, rather than shutting
down the IOMMU completely, we're going to try to update all of the
valid pdir entries to point to a single pre-alloced page. This should
safely control all of devices with out having to shutdown the IOMMU.

I haven't had a chance to speak with Khalid about this approach. I'm
hoping to catch him today.
