AMD currently does:

if (cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT))
swiotlb_force = SWIOTLB_FORCE;

which somewhat begs the question of why we can't do the

swiotlb_force = SWIOTLB_FORCE;

thing in:

void __init mem_encrypt_init(void)
{
if (!cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT))
return;

I recall there being a reason for this. But I don't see any mention in
the changelog.
