The code in 'setup_io_tlb_npages' - which is run when 'swiotlb=' parameter
is passed on the command line, can be modified to parse other extra
values. That is what I meant.
As in right now it assumes you want only to change the size of the
IOTLB buffer (64MB default). You can make the code be smarter and
accept two values, say:
32768,128
Which should make the size by the default of 64MB with an io_tlb_segsize of 128.
Or you can do:
32768,256
for also an 64MB with a io_tlb_segsize of 256 instead.
This offers users to manipulate these values as well as the initial
arch code which can modify 'io_tlb_nslabs' and 'io_tlb_segsize' during
bootup to their preferred values.

No. Just fold it all under 'swiotlb' parameter please.

And naturally that will have to be updated.
