Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/6] remove late (on-demand) construction of IOMMU page tables

NOTE: This patch will cause a small amount of extra resource to be used
       to accommodate IOMMU page tables that may never be used, since the
       per-domain IOMMU flag enable flag is currently set to the value
       of the global iommu_enable flag. A subsequent patch will add an
       option to the toolstack to allow it to be turned off if there is
       no intention to assign passthrough hardware to the domain.

In particular if the default of this is going to be "true" (I
didn't look at that patch yet, but the wording above makes me
assume so), in auto-ballooning mode without shared page tables
more memory should imo be ballooned out of Dom0 now. It has
always been a bug that IOMMU page tables weren't accounted for,
but it would become even more prominent then.

As a really minor comment - I think it wouldn't be bad for both
d->vcpu references to end up on the same line.

Why do you drop the hwdom check here?

I'd suggest dropping the stray outer pair of parentheses at the
same time.
