Setting "iommu.passthrough=1" works for me. However, I am not sure where
to go from here, so any ideas you have would be great.

If I simply remove the iommu node for the ethernet controller, then I
see lots of ...
[ 6.296121] arm-smmu 12000000.iommu: Unexpected global fault, this could be serious
[ 6.296125] arm-smmu 12000000.iommu: GFSR 0x00000002, GFSYNR0 0x00000000, GFSYNR1 0x00000014, GFSYNR2 0x00000000
So I assume that this is triggering the SMMU interrupt correctly.

Yes one of the first things we tried but did not bare any fruit.
