While the comment was correct that this flag was intended to convey the block no-snoop support in the IOMMU, it has become widely implemented and used to mean the IOMMU supports IOMMU_CACHE as a map flag. Only the Intel driver was different. Now that the Intel driver is using enforce_cache_coherency() update the comment to make it clear that IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY is only about IOMMU_CACHE. Fix the Intel driver to return true since IOMMU_CACHE always works. The two places that test this flag, usnic and vdpa, are both assigning userspace pages to a driver controlled iommu_domain and require IOMMU_CACHE behavior as they offer no way for userspace to synchronize caches.

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.
