Rick,

Does your PowerEdge server have a PERC controller?

I'm getting this on Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell 2950 that has the PERC 5/i
controller.

This bug is happening now that I have taken the megaraid scsi driver
code from RHEL 5 and modified it to compile in Ubuntu 8.04.  With the
Ubuntu driver the Xen dom0 would just panic whenever I tried to write a
lot to the disk.  Where "a lot" was dd'ing 100MB from /dev/zero followed
by a call to sync.

Trying to get the full stack trace requires a serial console, which for
the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to attach to Xen's dom0.

If you're having the problem and you're using the megaraid_sas scsi
controller, maybe you'll be able to test out the driver code I'm
modifying.  assuming I can get it to be stable on my system.  At the
moment, the box isn't falling over, but I'm getting gobs of these
messages:

As well as the PCI-DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space errors on the console.
