I think we certainly do. swiotlb will already avoid bouncing where
possible via the checks for address_needs_mapping(). Is swiotlb
prohibitively expensive even when no bouncing is necessary? if yes, we
could either trim it down or just use it selectively as I outlined
earlier on a per bus / device / subsystem basis.
