PCI pass-thru devices in a Hyper-V VM are represented as a VMBus
device and as a PCI device.  The coherence of the VMbus device is
set based on the VMbus node in ACPI, but the PCI device has no
ACPI node and defaults to not hardware coherent.  This results
in extra software coherence management overhead on ARM64 when
devices are hardware coherent.

Fix this by setting up the PCI host bus so that normal
PCI mechanisms will propagate the coherence of the VMbus
device to the PCI device. There's no effect on x86/x64 where
devices are always hardware coherent.

Honestly, I don't hate this :)

It seems conceptually accurate, as far as I understand, and in functional terms I'm starting to think it might even be the most correct approach anyway. In the physical world we might be surprised to find the PCI side of a host bridge behind anything other than some platform/ACPI device representing the other side of a physical host bridge or root complex, but who's to say that a paravirtual world can't present a more abstract topology? Either way, a one-line way of tying in to the standard flow is hard to turn down.
