Virtualization use-cases don't change the page-tables for the IOMMU very
often. So there is less need to flush the IO-TLB and IOMMU command
processing is utilized only from time to time.
In Linux however the page-tables change all the time and there is a much
higher load on the IOMMU command buffer which makes it much more likely
to trigger the hardware problem.
