We already build the swiotlb code for 32b-t kernels with PAE support,
but the code to actually use swiotlb has only been enabled for 64-bit
kernel for an unknown reason.

Before Linux 4.18 we papers over this fact because the networking code,
the scsi layer and some random block drivers implenented their own
bounce buffering scheme.

Fixes: 21e07dba ("scsi: reduce use of block bounce buffers")
Fixes: ab74cfeb ("net: remove the PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS check in illegal_highdma")
