Regardless of swiotlb setting, the restricted DMA pool is preferred if

The restricted DMA pools provide a basic level of protection against
the DMA overwriting buffer contents at unexpected times. However, to
protect against general data leakage and system memory corruption, the
system needs to provide a way to restrict the DMA to a predefined memory
region.

You could probably split this patch into two:
- one that introduces the get_io_tlb_mem() getter, updates all callers
of is_swiotlb_buffer() to gain a 'struct device' argument
- another one that does add support for a non-default swiotlb pool and
adds dev->dma_io_tlb_mem
Other than that, LGTM!
