Subject[PATCH v3 2/2] doc: swiotlb: Document SWIOTLB areas parameter
From
Commit 20347fca71a3 ("swiotlb: split up the global swiotlb lock") added
the ability to specify the number of SWIOTLB areas, but boot-options.rst
was not updated as part of that commit. Also adjust the swiotlb option
syntax to clarify that force and noforce are mutually exclusive.
