I think the problem is that I was always testing with "-nodefaults",
while that's not your case... And without "-nodefaults" we'll have
these two devices created before all the rest:

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Device 1234:1111 (rev 02)
00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet 
Controller (rev 03)

So Intel vIOMMU complaint. :(

Thanks for the report! I'll think of something better and prepare
another version.
