Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/11] powerpc/svm: Don't release SWIOTLB buffers on secure guests

From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Even though SWIOTLB slab gets allocated and initialized on each powerpc
platform with swiotlb_init(), it gets released away again on all server
platforms because ppc_swiotlb_enable variable never gets set. Secure
guests would require SWIOTLB DMA API support for virtio bounce buffering
purpose. Hence retain the allocated buffer by setting ppc_swiotlb_enable
variable for secure guests on Ultravisor platforms.
