Correct me if I am wrong, but I think: IOMMU support means that a
graphics card passthrough is possible (this is binary: IOMMU yes ==>
possible / no ==> not possible). If IOMMU support is buggy (which
seems to be commonly found with proprietary BIOS) maybe your system
could experience some bugs while you are using this feature. Of course
the most reliable way to find out is to try it, but I am pretty sure
that coreboot's IOMMU support is good
