Stephen, I'm not sure this patch can show much after the patch with
"legal" dma_size == re->data_addr didn't help. It looks like David
was right: dma_sync can't affect dmar, because it doesn't use it at
all.

Then I'd rather suggest to test if using copybreak more often, e.g.
with copybreak=1000 or even more can trigger these errors faster.
