After multiple attempts, this patchset is now based on the fact that the

The first patch allows to build relocatable kernels but is not selected

Until clang-12, clang would attempt to assemble 32b powerpc assembler in
64b emulation mode when using a 64b target triple with -m32, leading to
errors during the build of the compat VDSO. Simply disable all of
CONFIG_COMPAT; users should upgrade to the latest release of clang for
proper support.

I didn't move this to a separate file because I feel it might be
confusing for swiotlb_alloc/free (and need more functions to be
non-static).
Maybe instead of moving to a separate file, we can try to come up with
a better naming?
Still keep this function because directly using dev->dma_io_tlb_mem
will cause issues for memory allocation for existing devices. The pool
can't support atomic coherent allocation so we need to distinguish the
per device pool and the default pool in swiotlb_alloc.
