I Just installed Gentoo on an acer timeline 3810tz with a Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics card and was running into two problems the first was random kernel freezes at the very start of my boot sequence. It would display ffffff and whatever the error message was. It would occasionally boot and I would get the messages below. I finally added intel_iommu=igfx_off which seems to have fixed both problems. I have no clue what it did other than the error was comming from y graphics card. I know DMA is a technique used to reduce the load on a CPU. Any clue what performance hit I'll take after disabling it? Also when will it be supported?

Keep an eye on that thread. I'm having the same problems as well
