The vfio-helpers implementation expects a TYPEv1 IOMMU, see
qemu_vfio_init_pci:
263 if (!ioctl(s->container, VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION, VFIO_TYPE1_IOMMU)) {
264 error_setg_errno(errp, errno, "VFIO IOMMU check failed");
Thus POWER SPAPR IOMMU is obviously not supported.
The implementation only cares about host page size alignment
(usually 4KB on X86), not the IOMMU one, which is be problematic
on Aarch64, when 64MB page size is used. So Aarch64 is not
supported neither.
Report an error when the host architecture is different than X86:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 \
-drive file=nvme://0001:01:00.0/1,if=none,id=drive0 \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0
qemu-system-aarch64: -drive file=nvme://0001:01:00.0/1,if=none,id=drive0:
QEMU VFIO utility is not supported on this architecture
