In BIOS I do have VT-D Enabled option. Would that be broken or not working ? 
I think I have used Xen a bit older version on Debian some time back if Im not wrong, on the same hdw.

Hmmm. Thats strange since I do recall I had previously used here Xen but on Linux. But older
version. Could it be something changed regarding Xen and iommu or ?
