[PATCH v3 0/4] dma: swiotlb: Centralize default pool policy and sizing

Hi,

This series centralizes swiotlb default-pool selection and sizing, and
simplifies the initialization flags used to describe pool placement.

The first patch replaces the addressing-limit argument with initialization
flags and introduces explicit policies for the different reasons a default
pool may be needed. Architectures now report DMA addressing constraints with
SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT, while the core selects the corresponding pool
policy.

The second patch moves the reduced sizing used when the pool is needed only
for unaligned kmalloc bouncing from arm64 and RISC-V into the swiotlb core.

The third patch centralizes swiotlb sizing for memory-encrypted systems. It
moves the existing x86 guest-sizing policy into the core. Host memory
encryption retains the normal pool size, and a shared default pool is not
selected solely for guest memory encryption when a restricted DMA pool is
present.

The fourth patch removes SWIOTLB_ANY. Pool placement is derived directly from
SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT: pools required for limited DMA addressing are
allocated below the architecture's low address limit, while other pools may
be allocated anywhere in directly mapped memory. Xen continues to request a
pool explicitly with SWIOTLB_INIT_REMAP without imposing a low-address
constraint.

Changes from v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260813102521.1367737-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org (local)
* Rebase to latest tree.
* Drop SWIOTLB_ANY and derive that based on SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT
* Add SWIOTLB_INIT_REMAP.
