The changelog need to at least mention what's going on here.  It doesn't
prepare me at all for having code move around.

So, this feature is always compiled in with KVM.  Could you say a couple
of things about that?  Why did you decide not have a Kconfig option for it?

FWIW, I'd rather have the code movement in separate patches from the
functional changes.

While I don't doubt you got it right, it would be nice to also explain
in the changelog why you manipulate both 'swiotlb_force' and 'swiotlb'.

I understand that they're touching similar areas of code, but I'm a bit
unnerved with memory protection being in all these "encryption"
functions and files.

I think some thoughtful renaming is in order.

This, for instance really shouldn't be in common code.  It should be in
an AMD-specific area.

This function is called like this:

So, maybe this should be x86_swiotlb_init() or something.  Then, move
the print_mem_encrypt_feature_info() elsewhere, probably back out to
mem_init().  Maybe even just call it print_arch_mem_features() or something.
