Specifically, in domain_context_mapping_one():

  context_set_translation_type(context, translation);
  context_set_fault_enable(context);
  context_set_present(context);
  domain_flush_cache(domain, context, sizeof(*context));  <-- noop

This does not update context entry, leaving IOMMU w/ a non-present
context entry, and therefore subsequent DMA generates DMAR faults:

DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [08:10.0] fault addr 37298000
DMAR:[fault reason 02] Present bit in context entry is clear
