For those of you wondering what iommu=soft is:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt

AMD64 specific boot options

IOMMU (input/output memory management unit)

 General iommu options:
    off                Don't initialize and use any kind of IOMMU.
    noforce            Don't force hardware IOMMU usage when it is not needed.
                       (default).
    force              Force the use of the hardware IOMMU even when it is
                       not actually needed (e.g. because < 3 GB memory).
    soft               Use software bounce buffering (SWIOTLB) (default for
                       Intel machines). This can be used to prevent the usage
                       of an available hardware IOMMU.

I used the workaround above and it worked.
