+vIOMMU
+~~~~~~
+
+vIOMMU enables the option to passthrough pci devices to Level-2 VMs
+in Level-1 VMs via Nested Virtualisation.
+
+Host Requirement: Add `intel_iommu=on` or `amd_iommu=on`
+depending on your CPU to your kernel command line.
+
+VM Requirement: For both Intel and AMD CPUs, set `intel_iommu=on`
+as the kernel parameter in the vIOMMU enabled VM, since qemu-server currently
+uses the Intel variant. The guest vIOMMU only works with the *q35* machine
+type and with *kvm* enabled.
+
+To enable vIOMMU, add `viommu=1` to the machine-parameter in the
+configuration of the VM that should be able to passthrough pci devices.
