Specifying VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM is the right thing for your 
platform given that you can't directly use physical addresses.
Please fix qemu so that virtio-gpu works with VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.

Also just as I said for the power folks: you should really work with
the qemu folks that VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM (or whatever we call the
properly documented flag) can be set by default, and no pointless
performance overhead is implied by having a sane and simple
implementation.
