I would add:
Fixes: 903cd0f315fe ("swiotlb: Use is_swiotlb_force_bounce for swiotlb data bouncing")
as this patch breaks things
and
Fixes: 64e1f0c531d1 ("s390/mm: force swiotlb for protected virtualization")

to make the s390 init code more robust in case people start backporting things.

I can confirm that this fixes the problem. This also makes sense codewise.

Konrad, Heiko, Vasily, any preference which tree this goes? I think s390
would be easiest, but that requires that the patches in the swiotlb tree have
fixed commit IDs.
