    hw/iommu: enable iommu with -device

    Use the standard '-device intel-iommu' to create the IOMMU device.
    The legacy '-machine,iommu=on' can still be used.

The libvirt capability check & command line formatting code
is thus broken for all QEMU versions 2.2.0 -> 2.6.0 inclusive.

This fixes it to use iommu=on instead.

Is there any value to make it work with older versions rather than just
clearing it completely on the versions that don't support it with
-device?


I had one question as well.  Are those invocations migration-compatible?
I can't try it right now, so I figured asking would be faster than
preparing two machines with different QEMU versions =)  If they are not,
then I would just say clear it.


Also please make sure 'make check' succeeds, you need to fix
qemucapabilitiestest so that it works.
