This won't do anything since there are many BIOS that provide an "IOMMU"

The best choice is to purchase something that has open source firmware
and that is owner controlled so that any issues can be fixed.

Many do not provide this options especially the ones per-offically
supported dual GPU like optimus and the AMD equivilant.
