IO_PAGE_FAULTs go away with CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH enabled. As I 
understand, this leads to reduced DMA device isolation which is generally not 
desirable. I was initially thinking about races between some delayed code and 
io-memory pages unmapping, but first IO_PAGE_FAULTs (running non-passthrough 
iommu) happen during bind operations as well.

What is also interesting, unbind & bind consistently fails on 31th bind:

echo -n '0000:05:00.6' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/snd_hda_intel/bind
-bash: echo: write error: No such device

And does not recover from there until a reboot.
