Host-Requirement: Add `intel_iommu=on` or `amd_iommu=on`
depending on your CPU to your kernel command line.
like this?

intel_iommu works better on my AMD CPU than amd_iommu ;)
Moreover it adds an extra AMDVI-PCI device that is using the first pci address.
`kvm: -device VGA,id=vga,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x1: PCI: slot 1 function 0 not available for VGA, in use by AMDVI-PCI,id=(null)`
I cannot find any good documentation for amd_iommu but it also seems like
it has less features.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device 'amd-iommu,help'
amd-iommu options:
device-iotlb=<bool> - (default: false)
intremap=<OnOffAuto> - on/off/auto (default: "auto")
pt=<bool> - (default: true)
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device 'intel-iommu,help'
intel-iommu options:
aw-bits=<uint8> - (default: 39)
caching-mode=<bool> - (default: false)
device-iotlb=<bool> - (default: false)
dma-drain=<bool> - (default: true)
