Bug: these drivers might not work if IOMMU is enabled.

Fix: if it gets to the point where it needs to DMA data to/from your board, and it won't, get into BIOS and disable the IOMMU.

Observed with a PCIe-6343 on AMD 5900X on X570.  Since it sucked to have to figure this out, and I haven't found a workable way to report this to NI, I'm going to leave it right here and hope it saves someone a switch to Windows or a few days of aggravation.
