Title: 5.15.0-1013-oracle: Unable to boot large memory SEV guest without setting swiotlb parameter. Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When launching a SEV Ubuntu22.04 guest with e.g. memory > 16876M, Ubuntu kernel 5.15.0-1013-oracle panics unless swiotlb=262144 is specified on guest kernel parameters. It seems that the kernel tries to adjust swiotlb buffer size but can not do that and crashes. With a memory size such as 8G, the guest boots fine.
