Yeah, but it still looks to me like that the hardware got into some
weird state with the storm of ATS invalidations sent to it.
The Completion-Wait loop timeouts seen in the original bug report
indicate that the IOMMU is waiting for a response that never comes. And
this is probably the ATS flush completion response from the GPU, as
disabling ATS on the GPU makes the issue disappear.
