It's by default off? I mean:
DEFINE_PROP_BOOL("intremap", X86IOMMUState, intr_supported, false),
Then it's good to me, thanks. You could add a comment there
explicitly mentioning that "IR will be enabled as long as declared
support for AMD" since it might confuse some of the people like me...
but it's optional.
