We should clearly always reserve an swiotlb window, *or*, probably much
better, teach the kdump kernel to *make* an swiotlb window (by having a
memory buffer in its reserved memory area into which it copies a chunk
of low memory, just as we do for the bottom megabyte. If we are already
in low memory that buffer becomes the swiotlb window, no copy necessary.)
