Isn't there some way to use VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM for this?
Xen was there first, but everyone else is using that now.

The comment above this should probably be fixed.

[PATCH] xen: introduce xen_vring_use_dma

Export xen_swiotlb for all platforms using xen swiotlb

Use xen_swiotlb to determine when vring should use dma APIs to map the
ring: when xen_swiotlb is enabled the dma API is required. When it is
disabled, it is not required.

V2:
 This is a modified version from Stefano's patch
 https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1033801/#1222404
 Note: This is not to address rpmsg virtio issue, this is
 to let DomU virtio not using xen swiotlb could use non dma vring
 on ARM64 platforms.

Unfortunately it is complicated and it is not related to
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM :-(

The Xen subsystem in Linux uses dma_ops via swiotlb_xen to translate
foreign mappings (memory coming from other VMs) to physical addresses.
On x86, it also uses dma_ops to translate Linux's idea of a physical
address into a real physical address (this is unneeded on ARM.)

So regardless of VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM, dma_ops should be used on Xen/x86
always and on Xen/ARM if Linux is Dom0 (because it has foreign
mappings.) That is why we have the if (xen_domain) return true; in
vring_use_dma_api.

You might have noticed that I missed one possible case above: Xen/ARM
DomU :-)

Xen/ARM domUs don't need swiotlb_xen, it is not even initialized. So if
(xen_domain) return true; would give the wrong answer in that case.
Linux would end up calling the "normal" dma_ops, not swiotlb-xen, and
the "normal" dma_ops fail.

The solution I suggested was to make the check in vring_use_dma_api more
flexible by returning true if the swiotlb_xen is supposed to be used,
not in general for all Xen domains, because that is what the check was
really meant to do.

In this regards I have two more comments:

- the comment on top of the check in vring_use_dma_api is still valid
- the patch looks broken on x86: it should always return true, but it
  returns false instead
