The only thing in the announces of 2.6.24-rc3-mm1/2 that stands out for me is: +iommu-sg-merging-add-device_dma_parameters-structure.patch +iommu-sg-merging-pci-add-device_dma_parameters-support.patch +iommu-sg-merging-x86-make-pci-gart-iommu-respect-the-segment-size-limits.patch +iommu-sg-merging-ppc-make-iommu-respect-the-segment-size-limits.patch +iommu-sg-merging-ia64-make-sba_iommu-respect-the-segment-size-limits.patch +iommu-sg-merging-alpha-make-pci_iommu-respect-the-segment-size-limits.patch +iommu-sg-merging-sparc64-make-iommu-respect-the-segment-size-limits.patch +iommu-sg-merging-parisc-make-iommu-respect-the-segment-size-limits.patch +iommu-sg-merging-call-blk_queue_segment_boundary-in-__scsi_alloc_queue.patch +iommu-sg-merging-sata_inic162x-use-pci_set_dma_max_seg_size.patch +iommu-sg-merging-aacraid-use-pci_set_dma_max_seg_size.patch iommu work I will enable CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG in -rc6-mm1 and see, as otherwise I have no clue where to look...
