I'm interesed on building a machine using a Trinity APU to use with GPU virtualization. However, the data on AMD-Vi support on Socket FM1 and FM2 platforms is VERY limited. I even sended a Ticket to AMD support 3 weeks ago and they never replied, so I will possibily send another one asking again.
Basically, the very little info I was able to gather from other users is that you need a Motherboard with the A85X Chipset to have AMD-Vi support. I will have to spam AMD support until I get more details regarding support on other Chipsets, and if you also need a specific Processor model like Intel that got VT-d on some models, but its excluded on others.
