Maybe we should keep doing the init early?  We could still have a
platform device for the PM stuff, but some init would be done before probe.

Another possibility is to try to handle swiotlb init later -- possibly
by reserving memory for it if the platform indicates it's a possibility
that it will be needed, then freeing the memory if it's not needed.
