We do support 32-bit PCIe passthrough devices with SEV.
Therefore, we can't just depend on >4G memory for SWIOTLB bounce buffering
when there is I/O pressure, because we do need to support device
passthrough of 32-bit devices.
Considering this, we believe that this patch needs to adjust/extend
boot-allocation of SWIOTLB and we want to keep it simple to do this
within a range detemined by amount of allocated guest memory.
