iommu: Introduce the domain op enforce_cache_coherency()



This new mechanism will replace using IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY and
IOMMU_CACHE to control the no-snoop blocking behavior of the IOMMU.

Currently only Intel and AMD IOMMUs are known to support this
feature. They both implement it as an IOPTE bit, that when set, will cause
PCIe TLPs to that IOVA with the no-snoop bit set to be treated as though
the no-snoop bit was clear.

The new API is triggered by calling enforce_cache_coherency() before
mapping any IOVA to the domain which globally switches on no-snoop
blocking. This allows other implementations that might block no-snoop
globally and outside the IOPTE - AMD also documents such a HW capability.

Leave AMD out of sync with Intel and have it block no-snoop even for
in-kernel users. This can be trivially resolved in a follow up patch.

Only VFIO needs to call this API because it does not have detailed control
over the device to avoid requesting no-snoop behavior at the device
level. Other places using domains with real kernel drivers should simply
avoid asking their devices to set the no-snoop bit.
