However, this warning message interferes with our kernel booting tests and kernel performance tests. We have to disable CONFIG_INTEL_IOATDMA in kconfig until this issue gets fixed. Before that, code of CONFIG_INTEL_IOATDMA will not be validated in our testing system :(.

First I would recommend updating your BIOS. If the updated BIOS also
has the issue I would recommend taking this feedback to whoever provided
the BIOS for your platform so that they can implement the fix.
If I am not mistaken some BIOSes have the option to disable DCA and/or
IOATDMA. You might want to check yours to see if you can just disable
DCA on your platform until the issue can be resolved.
Thanks,
Alex
