[ Upstream commit 8fabc623238e68b3ac63c0dd1657bf86c1fa33af ]

Some powerpc platforms (e.g. 85xx) limit DMA-able memory way below 4G.
If a system has more physical memory than this limit, the swiotlb
buffer is not addressable because it is allocated from memblock using
top-down mode.

Force memblock to bottom-up mode before calling swiotlb_init() to
ensure that the swiotlb buffer is DMA-able.
