x86/swiotlb: Enable swiotlb for > 4GiG ram on 32-bit kernels
We already build the swiotlb code for 32b-t kernels with PAE support,
but the code to actually use swiotlb has only been enabled for 64-bit
kernel for an unknown reason.
Before Linux 4.18 we paper over this fact because the networking code,
the scsi layer and some random block drivers implemented their own
bounce buffering scheme.
Fixes: 21e07dba9fb1 ("scsi: reduce use of block bounce buffers")
Fixes: ab74cfebafa3 ("net: remove the PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS check in
illegal_highdma")
