Well, the only way to really find out is to try.  We also have a
backoff algorithm in the SCSI midlayer, so it should not be much of
an inpact.  If you care about the warnings they can be disabled using
DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN.  I have to admit that I'm not even sure the warnings
are all that useful, but that's something you need to take up with
the swiotlb maintainer.
