So PFN_DOWN aligns the address and thus per se converting the unaligned
address isn't a problem.  That being said swiotlb obviously should never
allocate unaligned addresses, but the placement of this check feels
odd to me.  Also because it only catches swiotlb_alloc and not the
map side.

Maybe just throw a WARN_ON_ONCE into slot_addr() ?
