If you device want to force VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM you probably need to 
do what has been done by mlx5 (verify_min_features).

According to the spec, if VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM is not mandatory, when 
it's not negotiated, device needs to disable or bypass IOMMU:


"

If this feature bit is set to 0, then the device has same access to 
memory addresses supplied to it as the driver has. In particular, the 
device will always use physical addresses matching addresses used by the 
driver (typically meaning physical addresses used by the CPU) and not 
translated further, and can access any address supplied to it by the driver.

This only applies if you want to passthrough the card to guest directly 
without the help of vDPA.

If we go with vDPA, it doesn't hlep. For virtio-vdpa, we know it will 
negotiated IOMMU_PLATFORM. For vhost-vdpa, Qemu can provide a legacy or 
transitional device on top of a modern vDPA device.
