I'm confused. In earlier discussions you wanted to find a way to not
publish others due to the check of non-coherent domain, e.g. some
ARM SMMU cannot force snoop.

Then you and Alex discussed the possibility of reducing pessimistic
flushes by virtualizing the PCI NOSNOOP bit.

With that in mind I was thinking whether we explicitly enable this
flush only for Intel GPU instead of checking non-coherent domain
in the attach path, since it's the only device with such requirement.

Did I misunderstand the concern here?
