Yes, static percentage number based on the guest memory. X% of the guest
memory is used for SWIOTLB.
Since you use sev_active(), it means the size computation is done in the
guest so that SWIOTLB size is per-guest. Yes?
If so, you can simply take, say, 5% of the guest memory's size and use
that for SWIOTLB buffers. Or 6 or X or whatever.
Makes sense?
