kakra at jupiter ~ $ zgrep -i iommu /proc/config.gz 
CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=y
# CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU is not set
CONFIG_IOMMU_HELPER=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_API=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU is not set
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON=y
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_FLOPPY_WA=y
# CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_IOMMU_STRESS is not set

So kernel vt-d support is on. Not sure what to look for in dmesg thou... I 
didn't look into the BIOS settings yet, but usually if there is such an 
option I turn it on because I use virtual machines.
