Ah, silly me, I set IOMMU_DEBUG to Y at some point without realizing.
Taking that away removed the issues and I now only get:

[    0.000000] Checking aperture...
[    0.000000] CPU 0: aperture @ 4000000 size 32 MB
[    0.000000] Aperture from northbridge cpu 0 too small (32 MB)
[    0.000000] No AGP bridge found

...

[   47.737770] PCI-DMA: Disabling IOMMU.

Which makes a lot more sense.

Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
Nish
