Bug Description

[Impact]
When a legacy device is only 32bit DMA capable and it's in the same
IOMMU group with iommu_v2 capable devices, the device in question will
be forced to use identity mapping and triggers kernel panic on DMA
operation because it can't do 64bit DMA.

[Fix]
Keep swiotlb enabled so legacy devices can do 64bit DMA. This is also
how Intel and ARM64 platforms deal with legacy devices.

[Test]
Boot an affected system. Kernel panic in Realtek WiFi driver's probe
routine.

After the patch is applied, the system can work normally.

[Where problems could occur]
The default swiotlb uses 64MB memory, so if the system doesn't have any
legacy device, there are 64MB ram less for the system to use.
