U just tried removing "pci=nommconf iommu=calgary" from my commandline on the 
latest (sid) 2.6.30-2 kernel and I get a very sluggish system after that. 
While it doesn't completely freeze (at least not in the time i was testing), 
you can hardly type on the console, and there are messages about lost 
interrupts on the console. 

So yes, things are still broken with recent kernels...

Yours,
