Shall we avoid this line-merge change?

Here if we can still configure x-iommu-type to "intel", shall we
change it to something like:

"Configure specific type of IOMMU (intel/amd)"

I believe we just forgot to update this desc after we changed
x-iommu-type from boolean to string.

Similar to above, how about:

"x-iommu-type=intel|amd configure emulated IOMMU type (default: intel)\n"

Need to update here with latest codes as well:

"""
@item x-iommu-type=intel|amd
Configure IOMMU type (amd/intel).  By default Intel IOMMU is emulated.
"""

Meaningless extra space here?
