Yes.  If your host (and I don't care if you split hypervisor, ultravisor
and megavisor out in your implementation) wants to support a VM
architecture where the host can't access all guest memory you need to
ensure the DMA API is used.  Extra points for simply always setting the
flag and thus future proofing the scheme.
