Remember that there is a SBSA level for each broken implementation
(even my XGene is SBSA compliant!), so that doesn't mean much.

Maybe. But given that whoever wrote the ACPI tables made sure that
everything else was annotated as coherent, I doubt the DMA controllers
being advertised as non-coherent is an accident.

I guess we'll never find out, and I'm probably one of the few still
having some access to this HW (not even sure for how long anyway).
I won't cry if we decide to pull the plug on it.
