At least for the guest side it is alot simpler because the vIOMMU
being emulated will define nearly everything. 

qemu will just have to ask the kernel for whatever it is the guest is
doing. If the kernel can't do it then qemu has to SW emulate.

The no-snoop block may be the only thing that is under qemu's control
because it is transparent to the guest.

This will probably become clearer as people start to define what the
get_info should return.
