I hope that with the following information there is no need for me to
do so.

It is indeed an old AMD CPU
  Model name:          AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor
  CPU family:          21
  Model:               2

Comparing with another AMD system that doesn't show the problem,
I see that CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is only set on the one with the problem.

The configs have just had "make oldconfig" run on them for years, I
have no idea why one has it set.

Clearing it fixes the problem!

Thanks for the hint, although there is a still wider issue with this
regression.
