From: Mike Rapoport <r...@linux.ibm.com> Some powerpc platforms (e.g. 85xx) limit DMA-able memory way below 4G. If a system has more physical memory than this limit, the swiotlb buffer is not addressable because it is allocated from memblock using top-down mode.
Force memblock to bottom-up mode before calling swiotlb_init() to ensure that the swiotlb buffer is DMA-able.
