Yes, there is this line.


Given that dom0 devices are working OK - this means VT-d translation is
working correctly for dom0.

The current code maps entire guest memory in VT-d by sharing with p2m
table.  The vt-d page fault you are seeing should only happen if the
guest is using some DMA address that is not coverred by the P2m page
table - which is shouldn't have happened.

I have seen this type of fault if the BIOS is not programming VT-d HW
correctly.

Who's the vendor of this Stoakley system?  We can try to duplicate the
problem here if we can get hold of the same system.

Here, the reference of the machine :
