While I can't really recommend a specific MB with an AMD chipset (The 
last time I used AMD in a DIY system was before I was regularly using 
Xen), I can say that I've had good luck with ASUS motherboards when it 
comes to getting a working IOMMU.  Where I work we have a couple of 
servers built using ASUS M5-A99FX boards (hardware rev 2 FWIW), all of 
which have working IOMMU's recognized by Linux and usable for PCI pass 
through in KVM (not sure about Xen, the one Xen system we have is 
running only HVM domains, and doesn't have any spare processor time for 
me to check if PVH would work), and AFAICT, all the relevant ACPI tables 
are correct too, so that may be somewhere to start.
