Subject: AMD Quad core - PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space on > 4 GB RAM

I've run into "PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space" messages after loading and
unloading a module 30 times. The interesting thing is this only
happens if I have > 4 GB of memory. The box this occurs has AMD Phenom
quad core CPU so I take it a harware IOMMU is being used. Below are
example relevant messages with > 4 GB and then < 4 GB of memory. The
driver I tested this with was ath9k. It could be an issue perhaps with
ath9k but I am unable to find an issue in our probe/removal.

Could this be an issue with the AMD IOMMU used? Or is it more likely a
driver issue?
