Let's refuse a VIRTIO device which does not use IOMMU
protected access.
      Stupid questions:

1. Do all CPU families we care about (which are?) support IOMMU? Ex:
would it recognize an ARM thingie with SMMU? [1]
2. Would it make sense to have some kind of
yes-I-know-the-consequences-but-I-need-to-have-a-virtio-device-without-iommu-in-this-guest
flag?
