The intel-iommu device has existed since QEMU 2.2.0, but it was only possible to create it with -device since QEMU 2.7.0, thanks to: commit 621d983a1f9051f4cfc3f402569b46b77d8449fc Author: Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel@redhat.com> Date: Mon Jun 27 18:38:34 2016 +0300 hw/iommu: enable iommu with -device Use the standard '-device intel-iommu' to create the IOMMU device. The legacy '-machine,iommu=on' can still be used. The libvirt capability check & command line formatting code is thus broken for all QEMU versions 2.2.0 -> 2.6.0 inclusive. This fixes it to use iommu=on instead. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
