Multiple warning messages and corresponding backtraces are observed when Linux guest is booted on the host with Fujitsu CPUs. One of them is shown as below.

The warning message is raised when the device isn't DMA coherent and the cache line size is larger than ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (128 bytes). The cache line is sorted from CTR_EL0[CWG], which corresponds to 256 bytes on the guest CPUs. The DMA coherent capability is claimed through 'dma-coherent' property in their device-tree nodes or parent nodes. Fix the issue by adding 'dma-coherent' property to the device-tree root node, meaning all devices are capable of DMA coherent by default.
