That sentence needs massaging.

	unsigned long size = iotlb_default_size;

Use words pls, not "&".

just "... for SEV" - no need for "platform".

That, of course, needs to return size, not 0.

And when you preset the function-local argument "size" with the size
coming in as the size argument of arch_swiotlb_adjust()...

... you don't have to do if (size) here either but simply use size to
compute io_tlb_nslabs, I'd say.
