Great news, thanks for pursuing that.

For the other boards:
We have identified an issue and are working on a solution. Stay tuned.

Also please note that sometimes board vendors also call the AMD64 GART 
an IOMMU, so if you have correspondence with them, make sure you are 
talking about the same thing.
Regards,
Andre.
