Dell Latitude E6530. Seeing a new error message crop up in next-0709 that wasn't there with 0703. Particularly odd, last person to touch dmar.c was on 05/20/2013, so no smoking guns there...

Once the driver reconfigs/resets the device to stop polling bios-boot cmd rings and use (new) OS (dma-mapped) rings, there's a period of time during this transition that the hw is babbling away to an area that is no longer mapped." But I'm not convinced this is the same issue - why did it change between 0703 and 0709, when I haven't updated the firmware. No relevant .config changes between the two, either. If this doesn't ring any bells, I'l go do the bisect thing...
