I also found this bug report
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37742
where one user report iwlwifi corruption catched by IOMMU.

I wasn't able to catch anything using IOMMU, and I also wasn't able to
reproduce the issue using any userspace memory checking tool. Hence I tend to
believe we're not dealing with a memory corruption at all, perhaps something
like certain CPU flags/registers not being correctly saved/restored during
wlan interrupts or something. When I have a sufficient amount of free time,
I'll try to check this hypothesis and perhaps pinpoint the instruction the
result of which is corrupted during wlan operation.

Tomáš, I do not remember, do you have the same problems on
older kernels i.e < 3.0

Yeah. I was able to reproduce it with 2.6.38.8 and 2.6.39.4 at least.
