Subject: [PATCH 4/4] kvm/vfio: Support for DMA coherent IOMMUs

VFIO now has support for using the IOMMU_CACHE flag and a mechanism
for an external user to test the current operating mode of the IOMMU.
Add support for this to the kvm-vfio pseudo device so that we only
register noncoherent DMA when necessary.
