That's interesting, what GPU is it that you are trying to pass through to the guest? It seems to be an ATS capable device. Either there is a problem in the AMD IOMMU driver with handling ATS or there is a problem with the hardware and ATS should not be enabled there. Either way, the fix/workaround has to be in the AMD IOMMU driver.
