-===== Enable IOMMU =====
-**IOMMU** is usually disabled by default.
-  * It needs to be enable at boot time in the **/etc/default/grub** configuration file.
-For AMD-based hosts:
-<file bash /etc/default/grub>
-GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=pt amd_iommu=on rd.driver.pre=vfio-pci"
-</file>
-For Intel-based hosts:
-<file bash /etc/default/grub>
-GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on iommu=pt rd.driver.pre=vfio-pci"
-</file>
