Unrelated to this specific patch series: now that I think about it, if
io_tlb_default_mem.nslabs is already allocated by the time xen_mm_init
is called, wouldn't we potentially have an issue with the GFP flags used
for the earlier allocation (e.g. GFP_DMA32 not used)? Maybe something
for another day.

swiotlb_init allocates low memory from meblock, which is roughly
equivalent to GFP_DMA allocations, so we'll be fine.

I don't think we need this xen_initial_domain() check. It is all
already sorted out by the xen_swiotlb_detect() check above.

Is it?

static inline int xen_swiotlb_detect(void)
{
	if (!xen_domain())
		return 0;
	if (xen_feature(XENFEAT_direct_mapped))
		return 1;
	/* legacy case */
	if (!xen_feature(XENFEAT_not_direct_mapped) && xen_initial_domain())
		return 1;
	return 0;
}

I think I'd keep it as-is for now, as my planned next step would be to
fold xen-swiotlb into swiotlb entirely.
