If a failed to start device
error is shown during the Acceleration
installation, ensure that the kernel option
intel_iommu=off
has been
configured as specified in
Updating Grub Configuration File
on page 13. If
this kernel parameter is not specified, acceleration services are only
available in a guest operating system.

The above lines are from QAT official document.. so if u r using QAT in VM,
you have to make intel_iommu=on in the grub config.
