Thanks but David was faster, we've already established that
http://git.infradead.org/iommu-2.6.git/commit/0815565a
which is, as far as I can understand, very similar to your patch, indeed
fixes the issue.

As an observation, David's patch is checking if *both* iommu->cap and
iommu->ecap are -1, while yours checks for either. You're also checking
for ver. Obviously, I have no idea which of the two is more correct.
Thanks,
Faidon
