Mika's been able to reproduce the VT-d issue and is soak testing this
fix, so I'll leave that until he's had a chance to confirm it survives.
In the meantime, I think we are reasonably happy this is the right fix
for Cannonlake and beyond, so I've pushed the first two patches.

Thanks for the review and testing,
-Chris
