AMD pointed out it's unsafe to update the device-table while iommu
is enabled. It turns out that device-table pointer update is split
up into two 32bit writes in the IOMMU hardware. So updating it while
the IOMMU is enabled could have some nasty side effects.
The only way to work around this is to allocate the device-table below
4GB if translation is pre-enabled in kdump kernel. If allocation failed,
still use the old one.
