TBH I'm still not sure which one I prefer...

Claire did implement something like your suggestion originally, but
I don't really like it as it doesn't scale for adding multiple global
pools, e.g. for the 64-bit addressable one for the various encrypted
secure guest schemes.

Ah yes, that had slipped my mind, and it's a fair point indeed. Since we're not concerned with a minimal fix for backports anyway I'm more than happy to focus on Will's approach. Another thing is that that looks to take us a quiet step closer to the possibility of dynamically resizing a SWIOTLB pool, which is something that some of the hypervisor protection schemes looking to build on top of this series may want to explore at some point.
