Hmm.
If I understand things correctly, we add property "iommu" to *any*
machine, whether it supports it or not (see machine_initfn() in
hw/core/machine.c).
Most machines don't support it. You add a warning to one of them.
Why to that one and not the others?
Shouldn't we add properties only to machines where they make sense?
Adding them indiscrimiately defeats QOM introspection.
