I hadn't tested without that hunk... so I just redid it.  For
simplicity, here's the exact patch I just tested to solve the warnings:

===

The current kernel build warns:

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x11458): Section mismatch in reference from the function swiotlb_alloc_boot() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem_low()
    The function swiotlb_alloc_boot() references
    the function __init __alloc_bootmem_low().
    This is often because swiotlb_alloc_boot lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem_low is wrong.
    
    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1011f2): Section mismatch in reference from the function swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem_low()
    The function swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size() references
    the function __init __alloc_bootmem_low().
    This is often because swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem_low is wrong.

and indeed the functions calling __alloc_bootmem_low() can be marked
__init as well.
