The code should be as much as possible arch-agnostic. That is why there
are multiple -swiotlb files scattered in arch directories that own the
architecture specific code.

Would it be possible to move the code there and perhaps have a ARM
specific front-end for this DMA restricted pool there? See for example
the xen-swiotlb code.

Cheers!
