First thing we need before doing anything about multiple default
pools is to get all the knowledge of details hidden inside swiotlb.c.

For swiotlb_init_late that seems easy as we can just move the check
into it.

But we'll need to do something about this mess.  I'll need help from
the octeon maintainer on it.

I don't think this is how it is suppoed to be.  SWIOTLB_ANY already
says give me a pool with no addressing constrains.  We don't need
two pools without that.  EXTRA is also not exactly a very helpful
name here.

I think live will be a lot simple if the addressing bits are passed to
this function, and not some kind of flags.

These names are not very descriptive.
