Since DMA addresses will effectively look like 48-bit addresses when the
memory encryption mask is set, SWIOTLB is needed if the DMA mask of the
device performing the DMA does not support 48-bits. SWIOTLB will be
initialized to create decrypted bounce buffers for use by these devices.

Use a verb in the subject:

Subject: x86, swiotlb: Add memory encryption support

or similar.

Will do.

Thanks,
