And it actually won't work since GPA is assumed in the device. So I'm not sure this is must since we should get a IOMMU fault in this case.

  This adds a quirk detecting these and disabling VFIO unless the
noiommu mode is used.  At the moment, this only applies to virtio-pci devices.

The patch might make sense on stable as well.
