Ron Minnich writes that coreboot doesn't enable the IOMMU, but instead disables bus mastering for the PCIe switches: https://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2016-November/082488.html

The way coreboot has always enforced DMA protections is to not set bus
master enabling on IO devices. I trust that particular setting a lot more
than I trust trying to configure an IOMMU, given that such configuration
seems to require trying to parse ACPI DMAR tables. If you will now tell me
that some bad IO device might ignore BME, then I would want to know how to
disable PCI bus mastering in the root complex, but certainly not via the
IOMMU.

Is this sufficient? Can rogue devices bypass the BM bit?

from heads.
