This patch adds clflush_cache_range(), but it's not used anywhere.

If you do need it, it'd be nice if the arguments were the same types
as for flush_icache_range(), and if there were a comment describing
why it is necessary for VT-d.  And maybe the name could be more like
the other cache flushing functions.

Please use dev_info() here.  I see you just copied this from x86, but
we should fix x86, too.  Or better, since this doesn't appear to be
arch-specific, maybe this should be moved to drivers/pci/quirks.c
alongside all the other VIA quirks.

Shouldn't forbid_dac be a per-device or at least a per-bridge
property rather than a global?

The "PCI: " should be removed since dev_info() will add the driver
name and device ID.
