Re[3]: [Xen-devel] vcpu-pin cause dom0 kernel panic

[Andrew Xu <xu.an@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The panic reason of pin-1-core-dom0 is DMA-remapping error.

Dom0 (pv) does not require VT-d , although it can use.
So, adding "iommu=no-pv,passthrough" to xen bootoption 
can avoid this problem, obviously, bug still exist ...

/*
 * The 'iommu' parameter enables the IOMMU.  Optional comma separated
 * value may contain:
 *
 *   off|no|false|disable       Disable IOMMU (default)
 *   pv                         Enable IOMMU for PV domains
 *   no-pv                      Disable IOMMU for PV domains (default)
 *   force|required             Don't boot unless IOMMU is enabled
 *   workaround_bios_bug        Workaround some bios issue to still enable
                                VT-d, don't guarantee security
 *   passthrough                Enable VT-d DMA passthrough (no DMA
 *                              translation for Dom0)
 *   no-snoop                   Disable VT-d Snoop Control
 *   no-qinval                  Disable VT-d Queued Invalidation
 *   no-intremap                Disable VT-d Interrupt Remapping
