I'm trying to use dom0 DMA pass-through (i.e. without IOMMU
translation), and I can't seen to get it to work. According to this:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTd_HowTo

the required incantation is iommu=pass-through
I think I remember that, for consistency's sake with other
parameters, the option's name was changed to "dom0-passthrough" at
some time.

It might make sense to do a grep on your (uncompressed) xen-kernel
and see whether you can find the string "pass-through" in your binary.
For my kernel (xen-version is 4.2.2) I couldn't find any occurenec of
"pass-through" but rather only "dom0-passthrough" which seems to
confirm my suscpicion.

Thanks for that. Grep confirms your findings. I'll try that.
