Jan,

I applied the patch to RC3 and it seems to do the intended task of
disabling IOMMU and allowing my GA-890FXA-UD5 to boot without a crash.

(XEN) No southbridge IO-APIC found in IVRS table
(XEN) AMD-Vi: Error initialization
(XEN) I/O virtualisation disabled


Additional boot log information is attached.

Thanks,

Eric
