We met the DMAR fault both on hpsa P420i and P421 SmartArray controllers
under kdump, it can be steadily reproduced on several different machines,
the dmesg log is like(running on 4.9.0-rc5+):

hpsa 0000:02:00.0: controller message 03:00 timed out
hpsa 0000:02:00.0: no-op failed; re-trying
After some debugging, we found that the fault addr is from DMA initiated at
the driver probe stage after reset(not in-flight DMA), and the corresponding
pte entry value is correct, the fault is likely due to the old iommu caches
of the in-flight DMA before it.
Thus we need to flush the old cache after context mapping is setup for the
device, where the device is supposed to finish reset at its driver probe
stage and no in-flight DMA exists hereafter.
I'm not sure if the hardware is responsible for invalidating all the related
caches allocated in iommu hardware during reset, but seems not the case for hpsa,
actually many device drivers even have problems properly resetting the hardware.
Anyway flushing (again) by software in kdump mode when the device gets context
mapped which is a quite infrequent operation does little harm.
With this patch, the problematic machine can survive the kdump tests.
