Here's another datapoint: with iommu=1,passthrough,no-intremap,verbose
in the Xen command line and iommu=soft in the pvops domU command line
also results in an NMI (see below). Replacing iommu=soft with
swiotlb=force in pvops domU works reliably but with the I/O
performance degradation. It seems that regardless of whether iommu is
enabled or disabled in the hypervisor, swiotlb=force is necessary in
the pvops domU.
