core-api/dma-api-howto.rst states the following properties of
dma_alloc_coherent():

However, swiotlb_alloc() passes zero for the 'alloc_align_mask'
parameter of swiotlb_find_slots() and so this property is not upheld.
Instead, allocations larger than a page are aligned to PAGE_SIZE,

Calculate the mask corresponding to the page order suitable for holding
the allocation and pass that to swiotlb_find_slots().

I guess this goes back to at least e81e99bacc9f ("swiotlb: Support aligned swiotlb buffers") when the explicit argument was added - not sure what we do about 5.15 LTS though (unless the answer is to not care...)

As before, though, how much of patch #1 is needed if this comes first?

Cheers,
Robin.
