Who is taking care of this? The kvm tree?

OK, Jan, I got your meaning now. And it's not the exactly swap. :)

I think the old code is safe, seems it's broken(exposed) by: 

commit 1a8bd481bfba30515b54368d90a915db3faf302f

    intel-iommu: Fix 32-bit build warning with __cmpxchg()
    
    drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c: In function 'dma_pte_addr':
    drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c:239: warning: passing argument 1 of '__cmpxchg64' 
from incompatible pointer typ
    
    It seems that __cmpxchg64() now cares about the type of its pointer argument,
    so give it a (uint64_t *) instead of a pointer to a structure which contains
    only that.

Seems here is the only affected code?

CONFIG_64BIT is on here, so this change did not make a difference for me.

Oh...

Then it would due to most VT-d machine wouldn't run into while (iommu->agaw < 
dmar_domain->agaw). 

We have routing test for VT-d devices assignment, but seems we don't use this kind 
of VT-d machine for testing.

In fact this one shouldn't affect the result. Wrong guess...

Ping...

I think this fix also qualifies for stable (.35 and .36).

Hmm, still no reaction. Trying David's Intel address now...
