[Sander Eikelenboom <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jan,

After commit 2ca9fbd739b8a72b16dd790d0fff7b75f5488fb8 AMD IOMMU: allocate IRTE 
entries instead of using a static mapping, booting dom0 stalls several times.
Sometimes this results in RCU stall warnings from the dom0 kernel, hitting the 
"any" key, on normal or serial console, makes the boot continue for a while but 
it stalls several times.
(It also stalls on shutdown BTW)

I have bisected it to this commit running kernel 3.10.2 and Debian wheezy.

xl-dmesg and dmesg from a boot with stall are attached, snippet from dmesg with 
RCU stall appended below.

Note that i do have to run with iommu='no-amd-iommu-perdev-intremap' due to the 
bios bug that probably will never get fixed.
When i run without the 'no-amd-iommu-perdev-intremap' the iommu is disabled and 
stalls do not occur.
