Thanks for the review, however I am dropping this patch because it
wasn't improving performances as I was hoping it would be.

I am taking a new approach now: I am keeping the 1:1 physical to machine
mapping for dom0 and using swiotlb-xen only to handle dma requests
involving foreign grants.

The code is much nicer, and it runs much faster.
