That almost makes sense, if x86 were using this generic swiotlb_dma_ops 
already. AFAICS it's only ia64, unicore and tile who end up using it, 
and they all had swiotlb_dma_supported hooked up to begin with. Am I 
missing something?

If regressions are going to happen, they'll surely point at whichever 
commit pulls the ops into the relevant arch code - there doesn't seem to 
be a great deal of value in having a piecemeal history of said ops 
*before* that point.

Robin.
