Comment 8 for bug 911236

I have the same issue with a Lenovo T410s (updated to latest BIOS); I see I have the 8086:0044 device that triggers quirk_calpella_no_shadow_gtt() in intel-iommu.c, but the PCI header is such that I hit the second clause in:

static void __devinit quirk_calpella_no_shadow_gtt(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
        unsigned short ggc;

        if (pci_read_config_word(dev, GGC, &ggc))
                return;

        if (!(ggc & GGC_MEMORY_VT_ENABLED)) {
                printk(KERN_INFO "DMAR: BIOS has allocated no shadow GTT; disabling IOMMU for graphics\n");
                dmar_map_gfx = 0;
        } else if (dmar_map_gfx) {
                /* we have to ensure the gfx device is idle before we flush */
                printk(KERN_INFO "DMAR: Disabling batched IOTLB flush on Ironlake\n");
                intel_iommu_strict = 1;
       }
}

so I see:

[ 0.802361] DMAR: Disabling batched IOTLB flush on Ironlake

in my kernel log, but then I get a stream of

[ 98.467011] DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
[ 98.467014] DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [00:02.0] fault addr 400020000
[ 98.467038] DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set

"intel_iommu=igfx_off" resolves this for me as well.
