This ^ patch (upstream commit 295525e29a) seems to cause a
network-related regression when using SWIOTLB in the guest. I noticed
this initially testing SEV guests, which use SWIOTLB by default, but
it can also be seen with normal guests when forcing SWIOTLB via
swiotlb=force kernel cmdline option. I see it with both 6.6-rc1 and
6.6-rc2 (haven't tried rc3 yet, but don't see any related changes
there), and reverting 714073495f seems to avoid the issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Boot QEMU/KVM guest with 6.6-rc2 with swiotlb=force via something like the following cmdline:

   qemu-system-x86_64 \
   -machine q35 -smp 4,maxcpus=255 -cpu EPYC-Milan-v2 \
   -enable-kvm -m 16G,slots=5,maxmem=256G -vga none \
   -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,disable-legacy=on,iommu_platform=true \
   -drive file=/home/mroth/storage/ubuntu-18.04-seves2.qcow2,if=none,id=drive0,snapshot=off \
   -device scsi-hd,id=hd0,drive=drive0,bus=scsi0.0 \
   -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev0,id=net0,disable-legacy=on,iommu_platform=true,romfile= \
   -netdev tap,script=/home/mroth/qemu-ifup,id=netdev0 \
   -L /home/mroth/storage/AMDSEV2/snp-release-2023-09-23/usr/local/share/qemu \
   -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=/home/mroth/storage/AMDSEV2/snp-release-2023-09-23/usr/local/share/qemu/OVMF_CODE.fd,readonly \
   -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=/home/mroth/storage/AMDSEV2/snp-release-2023-09-23/usr/local/share/qemu/OVMF_VARS.fd \
   -debugcon file:debug.log -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402 -msg timestamp=on \
   -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-6.6.0-rc2-vanilla0+ \
   -initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.6.0-rc2-vanilla0+ \
   -append "root=UUID=d72a6d1c-06cf-4b79-af43-f1bac4f620f9 ro console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 debug=1 sev=debug page_poison=0 spec_rstack_overflow=off swiotlb=force"

2) scp a small file from the host to the guest IP via its virtio-net device.
   Smaller file sizes succeed, but the larger the file the more likely
   it will fail. e.g.:

   mroth@host:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1K count=19
   19+0 records in
   19+0 records out
   19456 bytes (19 kB, 19 KiB) copied, 0.000940134 s, 20.7 MB/s
   mroth@host:~$ scp test vm0:
   test                                                                    100%   19KB  10.1MB/s   00:00
   mroth@host:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1K count=20
   20+0 records in
   20+0 records out
   20480 bytes (20 kB, 20 KiB) copied, 0.00093774 s, 21.8 MB/s
   mroth@host:~$ scp test vm0:
   test                                                                      0%    0     0.0KB/s   --:-- ETA
   client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
   lost connection
   mroth@host:~$
