[PATCH v3] powerpc/pseries/svm: Allocate SWIOTLB buffer anywhere in memory

2020-08-18 Thread Thiago Jung Bauermann
POWER secure guests (i.e., guests which use the Protection Execution Facility) need to use SWIOTLB to be able to do I/O with the hypervisor, but they don't need the SWIOTLB memory to be in low addresses since the hypervisor doesn't have any addressing limitation. This solves a SWIOTLB
