Ok fair enough, and I'll admit I don't like my use of
swiotlb_for_alloc() a lot either.
However, if the general idea at least is acceptable, would the
implementation be acceptable if I add an explicit API for this to the
DMA subsystem, and hide the detail there?
Or a completely different approach would be to revert the patch
e41b1355508d which clears VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM in the balloon
driver. MST: That's back in your court, as it's your patch!
