For information, on AMD overdrive the PCI host controller is marked as
dma-coherent too but I do not observe any issue with 82574L (e1000e)
and it worked fine as well on X540T1 Intel NIC. I just tested with
e1000e and dma-coherent guest PCI controller and works fine too. Don't
have x540t1 anymore so can't test with that PCIe CARD.
With Intel I35OT1 and guest non dma-coherent PCIe controller I cope with
some issues when assigning the PF but I don't know yet if there is any
relationship.
Best Regards
