The vfio-helpers implementation expects a TYPEv1 IOMMU, see
qemu_vfio_init_pci:

  263     if (!ioctl(s->container, VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION, VFIO_TYPE1_IOMMU)) {
  264         error_setg_errno(errp, errno, "VFIO IOMMU check failed");

Thus POWER SPAPR IOMMU is obviously not supported.

The implementation only cares about host page size alignment
(usually 4KB on X86), not the IOMMU one, which is be problematic
on Aarch64, when 64MB page size is used. So Aarch64 is not
supported neither.

Report an error when the host architecture is different than X86:

 $ qemu-system-aarch64 \
    -drive file=nvme://0001:01:00.0/1,if=none,id=drive0 \
    -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0
  qemu-system-aarch64: -drive file=nvme://0001:01:00.0/1,if=none,id=drive0: QEMU VFIO utility is not supported on this architecture

Why does this need to be hard coded to specific architectures rather
than probing for type1 IOMMU support and looking at the iova_pgsizes
from VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO to see if there's a compatible size?  It
requires us to get a bit deeper into the device initialization, but we
should still be able to unwind out of the device realize.  Otherwise
we're throwing out aarch64 running of 4KB for no reason, right?  Thanks,

Alex

Ah yes, much clever! Thanks Alex :)
