What is this check for? If we are requesting a DMA mapping with
DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED, shouldn’t it be allowed? If not, how would we reach
the conditional below where we convert the physical address to a DMA
address using phys_to_dma_unencrypted()?. Also, how is this supposed to
interact with is_swiotlb_force_bounce()?”
