Note that this should be true for both drivers.

And indeed this is a generic option. I reckon we could simply merge these two sections together, with the first paragraph being something like:
If you encounter issues with integrated graphics devices, you can try adding the option "iommu.passthrough=1", or the equivalent "iommu=pt", to the kernel command line to use a 1:1 mapping for the IOMMU in general. On Intel you can also try "intel_iommu=igfx_off" to turn off translation specifically for the integrated graphics engine only. If this fixes anything, please ensure you file a bug reporting the problem.

Similarly, that's common IOMMU API reporting which will be seen on all architectures (let alone IOMMU drivers). Maybe some of the messages from print_iommu_info() might be better AMD-specific examples?
Cheers, Robin.
