Hello Allen,
My problem before Weidongs workarounds was that VT-D would be switched off due 
to RMRR base address > end address when using a pci-e graphics card which 
disables the IGD on my platform (Q45 chipset).
Since his workarounds this doesn't happen anymore though one warning remains.
So there are to issues:
- RMRR address range not in reserved memory base = 7f000000 end = 7effffff; 
iommu_inclusive_mapping=1 parameter may be needed.
- And as you see if it was included this RMRR is still invalid because the base 
address > end address (which was previously the cause that xen switched off 
vt-d alltogether, but this error isn't reported separately anymore)
I have attached:
- xm info output, that should satisfy (c)
- serial log booting with and without iommu_inclusive_mapping=1 option, this 
should satisfy (d)
- output lspci -vvvknn
Ad (a):
- Asus P5Q-EM DO
- Q45 intel chipset
- Q9400 intel processor
- Ati Radeon HD 4850 GPU
Ad (b):
- bios version (latest available): P5Q-EM DO 1102 BIOS, date 2009年06月05日
Regards,
Sander
