We have a system where we have no DMA capable memory in the 32bit
window, which means even if we initialise swiotlb we don't have
any dma capable memory. The code says go use an IOMMU but we don't
have one of those either (and all peripherals are capable of DMA
from any of the memory, so there shouldn't be the need for one)

Is there any other way of fixing this DMA allocation issue?

I added this fix as swiotlb prints an error but also causes
an annoying stack backtrace.
