I hit the same issue enabling IOMMU for virtio-blk using this branch:

  https://github.com/mdroth/SLOF/commits/virtio-iommu

I just sent a tentative fix for QEMU as:

  "virtio-pci: disable vring processing when bus-mastering is disabled"

It's an RFC since piggy-backing off dev->broken seems a bit hacky, but
it seems to fix the issue at least.

BTW, the SLOF branch above needs cleanup, but it's booting guests okay
and I was planning to post this week. Where are you at on yours? Maybe
we should sync up...
