Add log and feed invalid data to low buffer on purpose,
it's confirmed that swiotlb is actually used.

Got log as
"[  846.570271][  T138] software IO TLB: ==== swiotlb_bounce: DMA_TO_DEVICE,
 dst 000000004589fa38, src 00000000c6d7e8d8, srcPhy 5504139264, size 4096".

" srcPhy 5504139264" is larger than 4G (8mp has DRAM over 5G).
And "CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32=y" in kernel config, so swiotlb static is used.
Also, the host (win10) side can't get valid image.

Code as below.
