It would be nice to nail down how virtio should interact with IOMMUs
on the emulated busses.  A bunch of the relevant maintainers are
around, and a short slot for this topic might make sense.

The goal would be to figure out how to accomplish something like this series:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/log/?h=virtio_ring_xen

but in a way that would actually work on all supported platforms
without breaking backward compatibility or killing performance.
