KVM: Enable snooping control for supported hardware

Browse Source 
Memory aliases with different memory type is a problem for guest. For the guest
without assigned device, the memory type of guest memory would always been the
same as host(WB); but for the assigned device, some part of memory may be used
as DMA and then set to uncacheable memory type(UC/WC), which would be a conflict of
host memory type then be a potential issue.

Snooping control can guarantee the cache correctness of memory go through the
DMA engine of VT-d.
