[PATCH RFC v1 1/7] swiotlb: introduce the highmem swiotlb buffer

[Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com>]

Currently, the virtio driver is not able to use 4+ GB memory when the
swiotlb is enforced, e.g., when amd sev is involved.

Fortunately, the SWIOTLB_ANY flag has been introduced since
commit 8ba2ed1be90f ("swiotlb: add a SWIOTLB_ANY flag to lift the low
memory restriction") to allocate swiotlb buffer from high memory.

While the default swiotlb is 'io_tlb_default_mem', the extra
'io_tlb_high_mem' is introduced to allocate with SWIOTLB_ANY flag in the
future patches. E.g., the user may configure the extra highmem swiotlb
buffer via "swiotlb=327680,4194304" to allocate 8GB memory.

In the future, the driver will be able to decide to use whether
'io_tlb_default_mem' or 'io_tlb_high_mem'.

The highmem swiotlb is enabled by user if io_tlb_high_mem is set. It can
be actively used if swiotlb_high_active() returns true.

The kernel command line "swiotlb=32768,3145728,force" is to allocate 64MB
for default swiotlb, and 6GB for the extra highmem swiotlb.
