thank you for giving it a try.

vsmmuv3 + vfio is not supported as we miss the HW nested stage support
and SMMU does not support cache mode. If you want to test viommu on ARM
you shall test virtio-iommu+vfio. This should work but this is not yet
tested.

I pushed a fix for the error notification issue:
qemu-for-5.17-rc6-vm-rfcv2-rc0 on my git https://github.com/eauger/qemu.git

Thanks
