If it help believe I have experienced a pci device that fails if I enable
IOMMU on linux:

08:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA
6.0 Gb/s controller (rev 11) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])
        Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA 6.0
Gb/s controller
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 40
        I/O ports at cf00 [size=8]
        I/O ports at ce00 [size=4]
        I/O ports at cd00 [size=8]
        I/O ports at cc00 [size=4]
        I/O ports at cb00 [size=16]
        Memory at fdbff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at fda00000 [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
        Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
        Capabilities: [70] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00
        Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
        Kernel driver in use: ahci

I lose access to both drives on that controller and lots of bad sata
related kernel messages, I haven't re-tried since my last few kernel
upgrades, but my hunch is that it's the card.

Cheers
Andrew
