GPU Passthrough gets "Operation not permitted"

Good morning. This is my first adventure in dealing with GPU passthrough, and I'm struggling to wrap my head around it.

I started with the PCI Passthrough documentation here, and found that my hardware apparently does not support Interrupt Remapping. I enabled the unsafe interrupt flag, but this did not change my outcome. All info that I have from CLI and hardware is here.

The VM is bootable when I was using SeaBIOS with i440fx, and will boot using q35 if I don't have the GPU passed through. Below is what I've set my flags to in order to try and get it passed through. I found that there is another IOMMU device, 000:04:00.1, that I've also passed through. This fails, as well.

Below is the Exit Code I receive a few seconds after trying to start the VM:

Task viewer: VM 201 - Start
kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=0000:04:00.0,id=hostpci0.0,bus=ich9-pcie-port-1,addr=0x0.0,x-vga=on,multifunction=on: vfio 0000:04:00.0: failed to setup container for group 25: Failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

stopped

I just can't seem to get around this "Operation not permitted" part, though I've enabled the unsafe interrupt flag. Where can I go from here? TIA.
 
can you please post the complete dmesg output ?
 
your hardware is probably the responsible part:
[ 0.476515] DMAR-IR: This system BIOS has enabled interrupt remapping
on a chipset that contains an erratum making that
feature unstable. To maintain system stability
interrupt remapping is being disabled. Please
contact your BIOS vendor for an update
