well the good news is system still has no AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out

also unsure how to test this to find out why its running with out the 
performance gains IOMMU gave me before 
I do have some spare HDD's I could use to try bench marking with with out using 
ZFS to see if i can crash the system again with an older kernel and try and 
replicate the IOMMU performance gains / loss's 

pretty much the way ZFS worked it normally ramps up its speed 
with out IOMMU it normally started at 14 mbs then ramped up to around 100mbs ( 
takes a couple of days with 16tb)
with IOMMU ( and the constant crashes ) it started around 100 mbs and ramped up 
to 900 mbs doing scrubs ( took around a day and a few reboots with 16tb )or I 
would bootup to FreeBSD ( which also had crashes so it looks like they have 
similar issue )

normally just to crash it quickly I just had to play a bluray disk
whilst doing a srcub
