iommu/vt-d: Disallow SVA if page walk is not coherent
Hardware implementations report Scalable-Mode Page-walk Coherency Support
via the SMPWCS field in the extended capability register. If the hardware
does not support page-walk coherency, a clflush is required every time
the page table entries (which are walked by the IOMMU hardware) are
updated.
In the SVA case, page tables are managed by the CPU mm core, not by the
IOMMU driver. Because the IOMMU driver has no way of knowing whether the
CPU page table management code has ensured coherency via clflush, the
driver must deny SVA if the hardware does not support coherent paging.
