I don't think so.

+static bool __init enough_mem_for_swiotlb(void)
+{
+       /* do we have less than 1M RAM under 4G ? */
+       return memblock_mem_size(1ULL<<(32-PAGE_SHIFT)) > (1ULL<<20);
+}

enough_mem_for_swiotlb could return false for them?

and

 int __init pci_swiotlb_detect_override(void)
 {
-       int use_swiotlb = swiotlb | swiotlb_force;
-
        if (swiotlb_force)
                swiotlb = 1;
+       else if (!enough_mem_for_swiotlb())
+               swiotlb = 0;

-       return use_swiotlb;
+       return swiotlb;
 }

it only disable swiotlb when there is less 1M mem under 4G.
