Subject: KVM PCI passthrough problems after kernel v4.2

Hi!

I've been using KVM PCI passthrough with a dual-port NIC for over a
year. I just upgraded to v4.3 from v4.1.4 and PCI passthrough stopped
working. I checked with v4.1.9 and it still works there. Version 4.2
seems to point after which my system doesn't work. How can I help to
narrow down the cause of the problem? I checked the intel-iommu.c and
there seem to have been lots of changes between 4.1.9 and 4.2 in
drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c. My motherboard is Asus P8C WS which has
Intel C216 chipset. CPU is Intel I5-3470. From v4.2 onwards
passthrough fails with:

pci-stub 0000:02:00.0: kvm assign device failed ret -22.

This is grep from dmesg. First is non-working v4.2 then working v4.1.9:
