it's worth noting that the prerequisite is that vfio always enforces
cache coherency on a domain according to the iommu capability
of the devices attached to that domain. There is no mix of attaching
a device supporting the cap to a domain which doesn't enforce
coherency. With that we know what the domain will be w/o having
to create it.

also add the other part i.e. if the device does have the cap then any domain
later attached to it will have the cap enabled. Only with both clarified
we can safely use the device cap here.
