no-snoop flag in memory registration?

Hi all,
we are implementing a Linux/RDMA solution based on Mellanox/RoCE. Our
memory registration is done via "ib_get_dma_mr()".
During a problem follow-up someone asked us about the "no-snoop" flag and
how it is set during memory registration in Linux. I digged into
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/mr.c, to find some MLX4_MPT_FLAGS_
visible there. Nothing seems to be related to a "no-snoop" flag.
Can anybody shed some light on this, whether we can set the so called
"no-snoop" flag, or is that beyond the scope of Linux support.

Kind regards
