Well, the only incompatibility comes from an experimental qemu feature,
more explicitly from a bug in that features implementation. So why
should we work around that in the kernel? I think it is not too hard to
fix qemu to generate a correct DMAR table which excludes the virtio
devices from iommu translation.
