When iwlan runs on IOMMU, IOMMU generates a lot of PTE write faults because PTE
write bit is not set on some of PTE's. This is because iwlan driver calls DMA
mapping with PCI_DMA_TODEVICE which is read only in mapping PTE. But iwlan device
actually writes to the mapped page to update its contents. This issue is not
exposed in swiotlb. But VT-d hardware can capture this fault and stop the fault
transaction.
The following patch fixes the issue.
