Precisely.

Yes, that's what I've been avoiding doing.  Every new release, I boot 
once with iommu=on, and firewire blacklisted, boot up, load the firewire 
driver.  This has caused the 'Ricoh DMAR' bug on every kernel since I 
got the laptop.  I then reboot and ....

Apply this patch, which has worked fine for me, but per a commend in a 
thread I created here on 10/19/2012[1], this has a potential significant 
performance impact.  In my use case, a performance hit is worth the cost 
for the features.

However, your patch(while not intended to be the fix), actually solves 
the issue on my machine.  I don't know if it also has the potential 
performance impact, but it's certainly not noticeably worse in my use case.
