IOMMU_CACHE means that normal DMAs do not require any additional coherency mechanism and is the basic uAPI that VFIO exposes to userspace. For instance VFIO applications like DPDK will not work if additional coherency operations are required. Therefore check IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY like vdpa & usnic do before allowing an IOMMU backed VFIO device to be created.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
