Yes, I saw this.

Actually, there's some progress on the swiotlb front to allow dynamic
allocation. I haven't reviewed the series yet (I wasn't aware of it
until v2) but at a quick look, it limits the dynamic allocation to
bouncing buffers of at least a page size. Maybe this can be later
improved for buffers below ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.

I rebased it locally but the last stumbling block is sorting out the
iommu bouncing. I was hoping Robin Murphy can lend a hand but he's been
busy with other bits. I'll repost the series at 6.4-rc1.
