There seem to be a lot of commits and discussion about VT-d support,
however there seems to be very little activity regarding device
passthrough using the AMD IOMMU.  Is it "done", lacking a mantainer,
or never going to work?  

A quick google showed that 8 series chipsets for desktop are likely to
be released very soon (looks like it is only the 8 series that have the
relevant IOMMU).  I'm not sure if any other hardware is required for
passthrough, does anyone know if there is anything special about the
CPU?
