A default SWIOTLB pool used only for unaligned kmalloc bouncing can be smaller than one required for limited DMA addressing. Arm64 and RISC-V currently implement this sizing independently, using 1 MiB of SWIOTLB space per GiB of RAM. The SWIOTLB core now identifies this case with SWIOTLB_POOL_MINIMAL. Size that policy in swiotlb_adjust_pool_size() and remove the architecture-specific adjustments. Explicit swiotlb= sizing remains unchanged because swiotlb_adjust_size() preserves a user-configured size. NOTE: We lose the RISC-V SWIOTLB_ANY setting in this patch. It will be reinstated in a follow-up patch where we make SWIOTLB_ANY redundant.
