I'm good with this approach that directly updates the swiotlb settings here

rather than in IOMMU initialization code.  It's a lot more straightforward.

However, there's an issue if building for X86_32 without PAE, in that the
swiotlb module may not be built, resulting in compile and link errors.  The
swiotlb.h file needs to be updated to provide a stub function for
swiotlb_update_mem_attributes().   swiotlb_unencrypted_base probably
needs wrapper functions to get/set it, which can be stubs when
CONFIG_SWIOTLB is not set.  swiotlb_force is a bit of a mess in that it already
has a stub definition that assumes it will only be read, and not set. A bit of
thinking will be needed to sort that out.

It's ok to fix the issue via selecting swiotlb when CONFIG_HYPERV is
set?

Sorry. ignore the previous statement. These codes doesn't depend on CONFIG_HYPERV.

How about making these code under #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_SWIOTLB?
