Comment 22 for bug 1005226

Hi Christopher,
There were no changes under the F11 ROM to the IOMMU issue under Fuduntu's
3.6 kernel as of two weeks ago. Also, I'm not currently running Ubuntu, so
I won't be able to test the 3.8 rc4 kernel until I can make a little time
for it, perhaps over the weekend.
