xen/swiotlb: Use page alignment for early buffer allocation.
This fixes an odd bug found on a Dell PowerEdge 1850/0RC130
(BIOS A05 01/09/2006) where all of the modules doing pci_set_dma_mask
would fail with:
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: enabling device (0005 -> 0007)
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: can't derive routing for PCI INT A
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: BMDMA: failed to set dma mask, falling back to PIO
The issue was the Xen-SWIOTLB was allocated such as that the end of
buffer was stradling a page (and also above 4GB). The fix was
spotted by Kalev Leonid which was to piggyback on git commit
e79f86b2ef9c0a8c47225217c1018b7d3d90101c "swiotlb: Use page alignment
for early buffer allocation" which:
We could call free_bootmem_late() if swiotlb is not used, and
it will shrink to page alignment.
So alloc them with page alignment at first, to avoid lose two pages
And doing that fixes the outstanding issue.
