Now the swiotlb is active, a software IOMMU that helps on systems >4G
RAM with devices that can only DMA to 32-bit addresses (it provides
bounce buffers). You can work around that issue by limiting the memory
used by your system (mem=) or by using an RTnet NIC that does not have
this limitation (rt_e1000e and rt_igb compatible ones).

Yep, that's it, thank you very much.

Does the rt_8139too driver support pre-mapping? Last year, we built a system with two RTL 8139 and 8 GB of RAM - and did not experience any such problems since...

  Or add pre-mapping support to the rt_e100pro. Check e.g. the conversion of the
e1000e for the pattern. Patches welcome.

I will see what I can do. For now, the system runs on an e1000e.

Kai
