The KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_ENABLE_IOMMU flag is a mandatory option to ensure
isolation of the device. Usages not specifying this flag are deprecated.

+4.60 KVM_ASSIGN_SET_INTX_MASK
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_PCI_2_3
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Allows userspace to mask PCI INTx interrupts from the assigned device. The
+kernel will not deliver INTx interrupts to the guest between setting and
+clearing of KVM_ASSIGN_SET_INTX_MASK via this interface. This enables use of
+and emulation of PCI 2.3 INTx disable command register behavior.
+
+This may be used for both PCI 2.3 devices supporting INTx disable natively and
+older devices lacking this support. Userspace is responsible for emulating the
+read value of the INTx disable bit in the guest visible PCI command register.
+When modifying the INTx disable state, userspace should precede updating the
+physical device command register by calling this ioctl to inform the kernel of
+the new intended INTx mask state.
+
+Note that the kernel uses the device INTx disable bit to internally manage the
+device interrupt state for PCI 2.3 devices. Reads of this register may
+therefore not match the expected value. Writes should always use the guest
+intended INTx disable value rather than attempting to read-copy-update the
+current physical device state. Races between user and kernel updates to the
+INTx disable bit are handled lazily in the kernel. It's possible the device
+may generate unintended interrupts, but they will not be injected into the
+guest.
+
+See KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ for the data structure. The target device is specified
+by assigned_dev_id. In the flags field, only KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_MASK_INTX is
+evaluated.
