That looks like the swiotlb buffer did not get initialized at all, but I
can't really explain why.

Can you stick in a printk and see if xen_swiotlb_init_early gets called
at all?


Actually, that's the only thing I did do so far and yes, it does get called.
So, specifically for "x86: remove the IOMMU table infrastructure" I
think we need the one-liner below so that swiotlb_exit doesn't get called
for the Xen case.  But that should have been fixed up by the next
patch already.


This indeed allows dom0 to boot. Not sure I see where in the next patch this 
would have been fixed?


(BTW, just noticed in iommu_setup() you set this variable to 1. Should be 
'true')
