Hmm, do you have an explanation how this can happen? From how I read the
code, the kdump kernel disables translation on the IOMMU, then sets a
new root entry, and then re-enabled translation. To me it looks like
there is no point in time where translation is enabled and the
root-entry is clear (present-bit==0).
But obviously I am missing something if you see the message above.
Btw, have you looked into this patch-set posted earlier this year:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/24/836
It approaches the same problem-space, but also cares about in-flight
DMA.
