Even when second kernel boots up with intel_iommu=on, dma-remapping need
to be disabled as well before it is initialized and enabled again in
init_dmars(). So, how about something like this?

        for_each_drhd_unit(drhd) {
                struct dmar_drhd_unit *drhd;
                if (drhd->ignored)
                        continue;

                iommu = drhd->iommu;
                if (iommu->gcmd & DMA_GCMD_TE)
                        iommu_disable_translation(iommu);
        }

Note, if you agree above code and fix your patch like this, you need
additinal fix to set iommu->gcmd flag sinse gcmd is always zero here.
See first hunk of this patch.
