I kept running this series on a KVM guest on my private workstation
(QEMU v8.0.4) and while running iperf3 on a passed-through Intel 82599
VF. I got a bunch of IOMMU events similar to the following as well as
card resets in the host.

..

I retested on v6.5 vanilla (guest & host) and still get the above
errors so luckily for me it doesn't seem to be caused by the new code
but I can't reproduce it without virtio-iommu. Any idea what could
cause this?

Right, makes sense will move the check into viommu_sync_req() and add a
coment that it is there fore the cases where viommu_iotlb_sync() et al
get called before the IOMMU is set up.
