Is it possible to reuse the 1st kernel swiotlb region in 2nd capture
kernel if it's available?

How about make swiotlb size tunable in 1st kernel as well such as adding
a swiotlb_size= to cmdline, if it's set in 1st kernel crashkernel
reserving code can take it automaticlly.
This will benefit to user who use low-mem machines.
