I thought I did above...

Commit f7871fd19389c5f64f625a4389675d0740f0dfe4 made the radeon driver
rely on ttm_populate_and_map_pages, which is implemented as:

static inline int ttm_populate_and_map_pages(struct device *dev, struct ttm_dma_tt *tt)
{
	return -ENOMEM;
}

when neither CONFIG_SWIOTLB nor CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU is enabled.
Previously, the driver worked fine without either of those enabled.
