Right now it will not put the device behind the IOMMU, but I'm fairly
sure that the DMAR will show the device as being behind the IOMMU.

We have time till QEMU 2.2 is out to make it use the IOMMU for
virtio-pci devices on x86.  I'm not worried about that.

The virtio-pci devices do set the "bus master" bit in the command
register, right?  I think they do, because otherwise MSIs will not be
received by the guest.
