POWER secure guests (i.e., guests which use the Protected Execution
Facility) need to use SWIOTLB to be able to do I/O with the
hypervisor, but they don't need the SWIOTLB memory to be in low
addresses since the hypervisor doesn't have any addressing limitation.
This solves a SWIOTLB initialization problem we are seeing in secure
guests with 128 GB of RAM: they are configured with 4 GB of
crashkernel reserved memory, which leaves no space for SWIOTLB in low
addresses.
To do this, we use mostly the same code as swiotlb_init(), but
allocate the buffer using memblock_alloc() instead of
memblock_alloc_low().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
