SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/9] xen: make sure swiotlb allocation is physically contigious

The swiotlb code contains a static call, which never ends up being
executed, so there has to be something to be called. But you're right
that there's no particular reason for this warning unless someone starts
to call swiotlb_alloc in the future.

I'd briefly discussed the idea of eliminating the distinction between
boot and post-boot swiotlb allocation, but it looks tricky to implement.

OK (ditto other mentions).
