Frankly I think you should take a hard look at just getting the data
needed from the PCI device itself.  You don't need to depend on virtio,
it can be a small driver that gets you that data from the device config
space and then just goes away.

If you want help with writing such a small driver let me know.

If there's an advantage to virtio-iommu then that would be its
portability, and it all goes out of the window because
of dependencies on ACPI and DT and OF and the rest of the zoo.

OK so IIUC you are looking into Christoph's suggestions to fix that up?

There's still a bit of time left before the merge window,
maybe you can make above changes.
