is this a bug already? If the 1st device doesn't have enforce_cc in its
iommu, setting the snp bit in the hwpt would lead to reserved
bit violation.

another problem is that intel_iommu_enforce_cache_coherency()
doesn't update existing entries. It only sets a domain flag to affect
future mappings. so it means the 2nd idev is also broken.

The simplest option is to follow vfio type1 i.e. don't mix devices
with different enforce_cc in one domain.
