Speaking of complexity. Is it just me or does a vIOMMU had an odd sort of similarity with a Grant Table? Both are about allowing foreign entities access to portions of the current domain's memory. Just in the case of a Grant Table the entity happens to be another domain, whereas for a vIOMMU it is a hardware device. Perhaps some functionality could be shared between the two? Perhaps this is something for the designer of the next version of IOMMU to think about?
