Hi all,

I think the reason is that, as you can see, if (dev && dev->dma_ops),
dev->dma_ops is returned, while before this changes, xen_dma_ops was
returned on Xen on ARM.

Unfortunately DMA cannot work properly without using the appropriate
xen_dma_ops. See drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c and arch/arm/xen/mm.c for
more details. (The problem is easy to spot, but I wasn't CC'ed on the
patch.)

I don't know how to solve this problem without introducing some sort of
if (xen()) in include/linux/dma-mapping.h.
