No really straightforward one. I think we need a per-IOMMU-type handler to
walk the IOMMU page table for a given virtual address, and dump every
page-table-entry on the path. Like an IOMMU version of show_page_walk().
Personally I would suspect this is more useful than the dump-everything
handlers: just give a *full* *detailed* walk for the actually interesting
virtual address (the one faulted on).

Not easy to glean any more from that, without extra tracing such as
described above, and/or digging into the guest to find what driver-side
actions are causing the faults.
