Probably not unless I attach it for real.

Subject: [PATCH] Missing critical phys_to_virt in lib/swiotlb.c
From: David Moore <dcm@MIT.EDU>
Date: Sun, 04 Feb 2007 13:39:40 -0500

From: David Moore <dcm@acm.org>

Adds missing call to phys_to_virt() in the
lib/swiotlb.c:swiotlb_sync_sg() function.  Without this change, a kernel
panic will always occur whenever a SWIOTLB bounce buffer from a
scatter-gather list gets synced.

This is a fraction of patch "[IA64] swiotlb bug fixes" in 2.6.20-git#,
commit cde14bbfb3aa79b479db35bd29e6c083513d8614. Unlike its heading
suggests, it is also important for EM64T.

Example crashes caused by swiotlb_sync_sg:
