Description

When running stock onnv-tip (from the closed gate), the kernel panics when booting in paravirtualised mode (i86xpv), due to:

SunOS Release 5.11 - Copyright 1983-2010 Oracle and/or its affiliates.

/platform/i86xpv/kernel/drv/amd64/rootnex: undefined symbol 'iommulib_nexdma_unmapobject'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'rootnex'

panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc609e0: BAD TRAP: type=e
 (#pf Page fault) rp=fffffffffbcb4ec0 addr=20 occurred in module "genunix" due to a NULL pointer dereference

There was a large IOMMU putback (13050:515b1e9bea30) which introduces the issue. Below is (probably rather rough) patch to potentially address the issue (just about to test this):

There may be other iommu related bugs as it doesn't look like the iommu putback was tested extensively (speculation).
