With this set, {pve} automatically creates such a device on VM start, and
cleans it up again when the VM stops.

+vIOMMU
+~~~~~~
+
+vIOMMU enables the option to passthrough pci devices to Level-2 VMs
+in Level-1 VMs via Nested Virtualisation.
+
+Host-Requirement: Set `intel_iommu=on` or `amd_iommu=on` depending on your
+CPU.
+
+VM-Requirement: For both Intel and AMD CPUs you will have to set
+`intel_iommu=on` as a Linux boot parameter in the vIOMMU-enabled-VM, because
+Qemu implements the Intel variant.
+
+To enable vIOMMU you have to add `viommu=1` to the machine-parameter in the
+VM-Configuration, of the VM that you want to be able to passthrough pci devices.
+
+----
+# qm set VMID -machine q35,viommu=1
+----
+
+Guest vIOMMU only works with the *q35* machine type and with *kvm* enabled.
