Hi Daniel,

we've already reverted the commit that enables intel_iommu by default
(see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971699) and we are making sure
that this option is not re-enabled for now. The first jammy kernel with
this change is 5.15.0-40.43.

Obviously this doesn't mean that the original problem is fixed, there's
definitely something wrong happening in the Intel DMA remapping code
(and it seems to be an upstream issue), so it seems safer to keep it
disabled for now.
