Should this be capitalized?

s/immu/IOMMU/, and i think this needs to be rewritten to something like
as follows:
Reading IOMMU attributes from
/sys/devices/virtual/iommu/dmarXXX/intel-iommu/cap in Linux kernel
4.10.0 results in an error. This is because the link between the IOMMU
sysfs-device and struct intel_iommu is no longer stored as driver-data.
(i have no idea what that last sentence means, maybe someone could help
provide a better explanation?)

Should probably be reworded as follows:
When binding devices to VFIO and attempting to run testpmd application,
testpmd (and other DPDK applications) will not initialize.
