Our swiotlb is quite different from the original thesedays, so we'll
need our own for the foreseeable future.  

Once we get the tree into a state we all agree on and start carving
things off in to patches I think we'll should prioritize the relatively
small subset that's required to make unprivileged linux guests work (we
can even leave some of the optimizations for later). Most of the patches
in the tree are required for building privilged guests capable of
running drivers, and we can leave them until last.
