Here is some interesting lines showing Xen failing without iommu=no-igfx:

I restate my comprehension.
iommu=no-igfx needs to be passed to hypervisor for it to boot.
iommu=dom0-passthrough would also be needed for dom0 tobe able to unset
iommu usage for itself?

For Dom0 to have access to device, I also understand that
intel_iommu=igfx_off kernel option would need to be passed to i915 driver
of dom0?

Doing so still fails without error. Any hint?
Doing so by providing dom0-pass
