This has been bisected down to commit 1755168, which reworked the PCI DMI API stuff for the Intel IOMMU support. On 2.6.32 if I disable USE_PCI_DMA_API everything works again, with it enabled I get a mouse cursor but corrupted frame buffer. This is an HP/Compaq 6710b with GM965 integrated video, on Ubuntu 9.10. Without this fix 2.6.32 is unusable on this hardware. (Console works, but.) Zephaniah E. Hull.
