Title:
  Unable to boot xen with iommu

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This morning, after first installing the package, I was uanble to boot
  linux-image-3.11.0-13-generic with default boot entries to have xen
  hvm 4.3 with iommu enabled. Without additional parameters, the boot
  process would hang (blank screen) where disks are normally mounted.
  After reaching the blank screen, it would not respond to Ctrl+Alt+Del.
  Hard reset was required. If I passed iommu=off or nomodeset as boot
  parameters, it would boot with xen. Booting without xen also worked
  normally.

  linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic continues to work with xen and iommu
  enabled without additional boot parameters. I have attached xen's
  dmesg under linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic  in case it is of interest.
