Thanks for the patch!

As for the other patch, I would move xen_swiotlb_get_sgtable to
drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c, if Konrad agrees.

__generic_dma_ops(dev)->get_sgtable on ARM is implemented by
arm_dma_get_sgtable, which doesn't work on foreign pages (pages for
which bfn != pfn).

If get_sgtable is guaranteed to be always called passing references to
pages previously allocated with dma_alloc_coherent, then we don't have
any issues, because those can't be foreign pages. I suggest we add an
in-code comment to explain why this is safe, as for the previous patch.
I think this is the case, but I am not 100% sure.

On the other hand, if this function can be called passing as parameters
cpu_addr and handle that could potentially refer to a foreign page, then
we have a problem. On ARM, virt_to_phys doesn't work on some pages, in
fact that is the reason why ARM has its own separate get_sgtable
implementation (arm_dma_get_sgtable). But with Xen foreign pages,
dma_to_pfn doesn't work either, because we have no way of finding out
the pfn address corresponding to the mfn of the foreign page. Both
arm_dma_get_sgtable and dma_common_get_sgtable wouldn't work. I have no
solution to this problem, but maybe we could add a check like the
following (also to the previous patch?). I haven't tested it, but I
think it should work as long as page_is_ram is returns the correct value
for the handle parameter.
