Right, the host driver seems to do this. If I'm following correctly we end
up with dma_direct_alloc() calling pgprot_dmacoherent() and get
MT_NORMAL_NC, when the SMMU is declared non-coherent in DT/IORT.

So we'd get mismatched attributes if hyp is then mapping these structures
cacheable, but I don't remember how that works exactly. Might be fine
since host donates the pages to hyp and we'd have a cache flush in
between. I'll have to read up on that.

Regardless, mapping NC seems cleaner, more readable. I'll see if I can add
that attribute to kvm_pgtable_hyp_map().

Thanks,
Jean
