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.
