reboot/shutdown hang in 3.8-rc3 due to
71e3d1578c954cf29f1f4db1c8930d3574025eb0 went away in this rc. But I
am still seeing

[   22.890240] DMAR:[fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set
[   22.890268] dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
[   22.890272] dmar: DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [01:00.0] fault
