Anyway, I just wanted to point out that I *think* we're fine for ACPI. Perhaps I'm the only one who didn't know that already though... Thanks, drew

So I guess that solves the USB mystery (but perhaps Alex could confirm?)

Perhaps I'm the only one who didn't know that already though... Thanks for the update: I've edited the commit message to add: # This brings the DT description into line with the ACPI description, # which already marks the PCI bridge as cache coherent (see commit # bc64b96c984abf). thanks -- PMM

Since QEMU performs cacheable accesses to guest memory when doing DMA as part of the implementation of emulated PCI devices, guest drivers should use cacheable accesses as well when running under KVM. Since this essentially means that emulated PCI devices are DMA coherent, set the 'dma-coherent' DT property on the PCIe host controller DT node.
