Aww, I just cleaned up all the panics! AFAICS we could warn and set 
mem->nslabs to 0 here to semi-gracefully disable SWIOTLB (presumably 
decryption failure is sufficiently unexpected that "leaking" the SWIOTLB 
memory is the least of the system's problems). Or indeed just warn and 
do nothing as in the swiotlb_init_late() case below - what's with the 
inconsistency? In either path we have the same expectation that 
decryption succeeds (or does nothing, successfully), so failure is no 
more or less fatal to later SWIOTLB operation depending on when the 
architecture chose to set it up.

So in 3 init paths we have 3 different outcomes from the same thing :(

1: make the whole system unusable
2: continue with possible data corruption (or at least weird DMA errors) 
if devices still see encrypted memory contents
3: cleanly disable SWIOTLB, thus also all subsequent attempts to use it

(OK, for the rmem case this isn't actually 3 since falling back to 
io_tlb_default_mem might work out more like 2, but hopefully you get my 
point)

Thanks,
Robin.
