PCI passthrough Tesla K80 to KVM

Hello all,

I’m trying to get K80 passthrough to a KVM. The VM isn’t starting at all.

Passthrough is working fine with mellanox IB card.

Getting the error in libvirtd qemu logs:

char device redirected to /dev/pts/1
assigned_dev_register_regions: Error: Couldn't mmap 0x0!
2017-12-01T22:43:28.524367Z qemu-kvm: -device pci-assign,host=86:00.0,id=hostdev0,configfd=23,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: Device 'pci-assign' could not be initialized

Have intel_iommu enabled:

[root@comet-31-20 ~]# cat /proc/cmdline

The device is detached from the host:
