Another data point, Jon pointed me to this video of unRAID being used to
setup a dual VM GPU gaming box (https://youtu.be/LuJYMCbIbPk).  They used a
5960X processor, which is another one listed as a Haswell E, High End
Desktop processor.  The iommu group listing shows that the root ports are
in separate groups and the narration indicates that they did not have to
use a workaround, which I imagine would have been the ACS override.

So we have 5960X, 5820K, and 4820K all as apparently viable alternatives to
Xeon E5.
