Yeah, but lots and lots of hardware lives across a bus without an IOMMU. Until very recently, that was the natural state of things. To me what's notable here is that they have a snoopable cache across a security boundary, where you can get the IO device to read arbitrary data you stuffed in from the CPU, when the CPU can't actually touch the underlying storage being cached!
