And that's the point. We discuss this issue and possible solutions for
years by now, and what ZhenHua implemented is what we agreed to be the
best-effort on what we can do in the kdump case with IOMMU enabled.

Of course there are still failure scenarios left, but that is not
different from systems without any IOMMU.
