I'm very confused by this: pci_xen_swiotlb_init() is only called for
PV domains, see the only caller in pci_iommu_alloc(). So this is just
dead code.

Same here, this function is only called by
pcifront_connect_and_init_dma() and pcifront should never attach on a
PVH domain, hence it's also dead code.

Thanks, Roger.
