The current SWIOTLB code uses a default of 64MB for the IO TLB area.
This size can be influenced using a kernel command line parameter "swiotlb".
Unfortunately, the parsing of the kernel command line is done _after_ the
swiotlb is initialized on some architectures.

This patch adds a new function swiotlb_set_default_size() which can be used
before swiotlb_init() to indicate the desired IO TLB area size in bytes.

This will be used later to implement a smaller IO TLB on the Nintendo Wii
video game console which just comes with 24MB + 64MB of RAM.

Please fix the powerpc swiotlb initialization instead.

Calling swiotlb_init() before parsing kernel parameters sounds
wrong. Any reasons why you can't fix it?

I think that this would be better asked by a PowerPC maintainer. Ben?

If this is really a problem the swiotlb late init may be a solution too in this particular case.

Hmm, why swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size()?

Why can't you initialize swiotlb in mem_init() like this (only compile
tested)? Any time before freeing bootmem works for swiotlb.
