Subject: [PATCH 2/5] vfio: Require that devices support DMA cache coherence

dev_is_dma_coherent() is the control to determine if IOMMU_CACHE can be
supported.

IOMMU_CACHE means that normal DMAs do not require any additional coherency
mechanism and is the basic uAPI that VFIO exposes to userspace. For
instance VFIO applications like DPDK will not work if additional coherency
operations are required.

Therefore check dev_is_dma_coherent() before allowing a device to join a
domain. This will block device/platform/iommu combinations from using VFIO
that do not support cache coherent DMA.
