Tested on Darter Pro and Dell 7330 (new images)
Pre-merge pipeline is still running, we had to restart the run because a robot finger ran out of battery. All tests are good, I just re-triggered it to get the green check in Git as well. |

Description of Changes
On System76 darp11-b and Dell 7330, the Ethernet controller (00:1f.6) is in the same IOMMU group as audio devices (00:1f.0, 00:1f.3, 00:1f.4, 00:1f.5). This prevents passing the Ethernet to netvm while audio goes to audiovm, since VFIO requires entire IOMMU groups. Adding a kernel patch (pcie_acs_override) that overrides ACS capabilities for specific PCI devices by vendor:device ID. This allows devices to be isolated into separate IOMMU groups.
