powerpc: Ensure that swiotlb buffer is allocated from low memory
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some powerpc platforms (e.g. 85xx) limit DMA-able memory way below 4G.
If a system has more physical memory than this limit, the swiotlb
buffer is not addressable because it is allocated from memblock using
top-down mode.

Force memblock to bottom-up mode before calling swiotlb_init() to
ensure that the swiotlb buffer is DMA-able.
