[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/arm/virt: mark the PCIe host controller as DMA coherent in the DT

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Since QEMU performs cacheable accesses to guest memory when doing DMA
as part of the implementation of emulated PCI devices, guest drivers
should use cacheable accesses as well when running under KVM. Since this
essentially means that emulated PCI devices are DMA coherent, set the
'dma-coherent' DT property on the PCIe host controller DT node.
