Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] vfio: blacklist legacy virtio devices

Legacy virtio devices always bypassed an IOMMU, so using them with vfio was
never safe.  This adds a quirk detecting these and disabling VFIO unless the
noiommu mode is used.  At the moment, this only applies to virtio-pci devices.

The patch might make sense on stable as well.

Michael S. Tsirkin (2):
  vfio: report group noiommu status
  vfio: add virtio pci quirk
