Yes. Will do.

The simple explanation is -- it was a mistake. We should
not have disabled IOMMU ops for secure guests. Though it enabled
us to use virtio devices, with the help of some additional patches to
the virtio subsystem; in hindsight, we should not have disabled IOMMU
ops for secure VMs :-(.
