I consider it unhelpful that address and size of the buffer aren't put
in the log file; it makes diagnosing issues needlessly harder. The
majority of callers of swiotlb_init() also passes 1 for the "verbose"
parameter.

<title>swiotlb-xen: maintain slab count properly</title>

Generic swiotlb code makes sure to keep the slab count a multiple of the
number of slabs per segment. Yet even without checking whether any such
assumption is made elsewhere, it is easy to see that xen_swiotlb_fixup()
might alter unrelated memory when calling xen_create_contiguous_region()
for the last segment, when that's not a full one - the function acts on
full order-N regions, not individual pages.

Align the slab count suitably when halving it for a retry. Add a build
time check and a runtime one. Replace the no longer useful local
variable "slabs" by an "order" one calculated just once, outside of the
loop. Re-use "order" for calculating "dma_bits", and change the type of
the latter as well as the one of "i" while touching this anyway.

The commit referenced below removed the assignment of "bytes" from
xen_swiotlb_init() without - like done for xen_swiotlb_init_early() -
adding an assignment on the retry path, thus leading to excessively
sized allocations upon retries.
