We may want to give the embedded folks an easier way of turning this 
off, since IIRC one of the reasons for the existing automatic behaviour 
was people not wanting to have to depend on the command line. Things 
with 256MB or so of RAM seem unlikely to get enough memory efficiency 
back from the smaller kmem caches to pay off the SWIOTLB allocation :)

Cheers,
