Sounds like nothing other than running low on that amount of contiguous
pages.
CTRL-a CTRL-a CTRL-a m
Typing that should show you what's available, I suspect it's less than
the swiotlb is asking for.

Boot time, IIRC.

It's the swiotlb asking for too large an order allocation. You can
certainly limit it to smth small like 1MB (swiotlb=1 on dom0 kernel
command line) and hope that's sufficient. Hmm, wonder if there would
be a way to reuse those pages from the first dom0.
