The board is sufficiently old that perhaps the processor is missing or
has broken and disabled interrupt remapping, in which case dmesg would
be telling you:

        No interrupt remapping support.  Use the module param
        "allow_unsafe_interrupts" to enable VFIO IOMMU support on this
        platform

This puts your system at risk of a malicious guest trying to exploit
interrupts via DMA.  If you opt-in to this risk, then update your
modprobe.d with:

options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1

Thanks,
Alex
