Hi Sean,

Well, I do have IOMMU enabled in my kernel .config. I have attached it
to this message as well. I would appreciate any guidance as I pretty
much have no idea what 99% of the items in here are for. This is
the .config that I used to build the kernel from the dmesg output that
is attached to this email.

the error that you see is because you haven't set a big enough size in the BIOS for the IOMMU. The error message is just saying that the kernel is enabling the IOMMU anyway. It used to be that it would enable 64MB, it looks like it's defaulting now to 256MB. When you enable a big enough size in the bios this error will go away (assuming that your bios fills in the registers correctly).
