I was confused by this too. v1 of that series included this patch, as
that series went along it became focused only on enabling WC
(Normal-NC) in a VM for device MMIO and this patch for device cachable
memory was dropped off.

There are two related things:
 1) Device MMIO memory should be able to be Normal-NC in a VM. Already
    merged
 2) Device Cachable memory (ie CXL and pre-CXL coherently attached
    memory) should be Normal Cachable in a VM, even if it doesn't have
    struct page/etc. (this patch)

IIRC this part was dropped off because of the MTE complexity that
Catalin raised.
