Something that may be of interest is that we encounter problems with
using intel-iommu across a PCI remove event. All HW generations fail
with faults like:

DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
DMAR: [DMA Write] Request device [00:02.0] PASID ffffffff fault addr 4b822000 [fault reason 02] Present bit in context entry is clear

i.e. they all report missing present bit after re-adding the device to the
iommu group. Forcing an identity map (or disabling iommu) works fine.

I applied this series just on the off-chance it changed the symptoms; it
does not. If you have any ideas on how to chase down this fault, that
would be very useful. We have a few other DMAR faults visible on many
platforms, all "[fault reason 07] Next page table ptr is invalid" that
are again not affected by this series, that we also need to resolve.
