I have the same Issue now on final 4.17.

Also I played with BIOS options also which does not fix anything but
changes the error message.

IOMMU && SR-IOV disabled the error changes to this :

[    7.092044] [drm:r600_ring_test [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: ring 0
test failed (scratch(0x850C)=0xCAFEDEAD)
[    7.092059] radeon 0000:21:00.0: disabling GPU acceleration


While I could workaround SWIOTLB bugs in 4.15 and 4.16 , 4.17 seems to
kill the GPU with no way
for me to make it work ( at least I could not find any workaround by now )
