As far as I can remember, the original patch was nacked by
the following reasons:

1) On sparc, the IOMMU is initialized before PCI devices are enumerated,
   so there would still be a window where ongoing DMA could cause an
   IOMMU error.

2) Basically Bjorn is thinking device reset should be done in the
   1st kernel before jumping into 2nd kernel.

And Bill Sumner proposed another idea.

I don't know the current status of this patch, but I think Jerry Hoemann
is working on this.

Thanks,
