So I tested v5.5-rc3 with and without the SMMU enabled, and without the 
SMMU enabled I don't get the lockup.

Obviously this is not conclusive, especially with such limited testing - 
5 minute runs each. The CPU load goes up when disabling the SMMU, but 
that could be attributed to extra throughput (1183K -> 1539K) loading.

I do notice that since we complete the NVMe request in irq context, we 
also do the DMA unmap, i.e. talk to the SMMU, in the same context, which 
is less than ideal.

I need to finish for the Christmas break today, so can't check this much 
further ATM.

Thanks,
John
