Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nouveau/firmware: use dma non-coherent allocator Currently, enabling SG_DEBUG in the kernel will cause nouveau to hit a
BUG() on startup, when the iommu is enabled: kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:187!

might be a better answer to this, but it involve ripping up some of
