If you need the > trace, I could set up some debug console. Hmm, no. This was only a guess. The VTD_PAGE_MASK does not mask out the bits 52-63 of the pte. According to the VT-d spec it is allowed to set these bits, some are marked as AVL and some have special meanings. If a pte has one of these bits set the phys_addr calculated will be wrong and the virt_addr calculated from it too (probably non-canonical, leading to the GPF). Probably masking out these bits in dma_pte_addr helps.
