If you're not using device assignment, then just disable intel_iommu.

If you *are* using device assignment, try setting intel_iommu to something
other then on. Maybe intel_iommu=pt will work (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/329174/). But I actually never tried this myself -
so let me know if it works ;-)

Is anyone else aware of a different "best practice", on how to enable
VT-d for device assignment, without any changes (in performance or
security) in the host?
