Yes sure. I posted to the mailing-list to know if it can concerns other 
people and/or if few are already working on this. So I think I will try

Yes I tried it and I also tried iommu=calgary but the problem is that 
the BIOS doesn't pass any information about IOMMU to the kernel (even if 
everything is enabled in the BIOS).
