Thanks for all your help, it turned out to be a bug in the AMD IOMMU
driver. The pdev->dev didn't get the right dma_ops struct assigned so
that mapping requests actually never made it to the IOMMU driver. This
only happened with hotplugged and VFs of SR-IOV devices. Too bad, but I
sent a fix for that and it work now again. Thanks again for your help.

Regards,

	Joerg
