The problem was my kernel, it was built with a tiny configuration.
Using fedora stock kernel I can see the 'invalidate' requests, but I 
also had the following issues.

Do they make you ring any bells?

$ ./qemu -m 4G -smp 4 -M q35,accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split \
     -drive file=fedora.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=virtio \
     -device intel-iommu,intremap=on,device-iotlb=on \
     -device vhost-vsock-pci,guest-cid=6,iommu_platform=on,ats=on,id=v1
