Oops.

I also found the existing piece sorta says a similar thing:
         * Set the coherency mode before we do iopt_table_add_domain() as some
         * iommus have a per-PTE bit that controls it and need to decide before
         * doing any maps. 

So, did this and sending v3:
-        * enforce_cache_coherenc must be determined during the HWPT allocation.
+        * The cache coherency mode must be configured here and unchanged later.
