My standard kernel has the following:

CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y
# CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SVM is not set
# CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON is not set

I will do some further testing to see if turning CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON
also breaks my system.

But not all systems have iommu so check from dmesg that iommu is really
enabled.
