Greg had few suggestion to change this statement.

"PCIe transactions that are marked with a No Snoop bit of zero and
access memory.."

Yes, this updated/improved text should be used in place of the version in the patch.  (Among other things, this avoids the above double-negative and addresses a concern against using "No_snoop" - which isn't universally used.)

Whether we use "No_snoop" (like ARM does) or "No Snoop" (like other people use), or use "No_Snoop", I don't have a strong leaning.  Maybe "No_Snoop" is a reasonable middle ground?
