confidential guest support: Alter virtio default properties for protected guests
The default behaviour for virtio devices is not to use the platforms normal DMA paths, but instead to use the fact that it's running in a hypervisor to directly access guest memory. That doesn't work if the guest's memory is protected from hypervisor access, such as with AMD's SEV or POWER's PEF. So, if a confidential guest mechanism is enabled, then apply the iommu_platform=on option so it will go through normal DMA mechanisms. Those will presumably have some way of marking memory as shared with the hypervisor or hardware so that DMA will work.
