I get this when I boot:

Checking aperture...
CPU 0: aperture @ 23a8000000 size 32 MB
Aperture from northbridge cpu 0 too small (32 MB)


arch/x86_64/aperture.c says this when aperture is < 64MB.

I have no way of changing this in my BIOS.  The systems shares video memory
with RAM.  All I can change is the amount of RAM allocated for video (32, 64
or 128 MB, currently set to 64.)

32MB is too small for IOMMU use. Linux will fix it up for you.
