I believe crashing the kernel for >it would be an overkill? The FLB restore is done during early boot and this has been discussed in past in KHO/LUO and IOMMU context also. But basically if this fails, the restoration of IOMMU state cannot be done, preserved devices would already have corrupted memory due to ongoing DMA as we didn't disable translation in the previous kernel. So logging an error and a BUG_ON at this point would be most appropriate.
