There's actually two call-sites for trace_swiotlb_bounced():
swiotlb_map() and xen_swiotlb_map_page(). Both those functions
also invoke swiotlb_tbl_map_single(), so moving the call to
trace_swiotlb_bounced() to swiotlb_tbl_map_single() means that
there will be 2 traces per bounce buffering event.

The difference between the two call-sites of trace_swiotlb_bounced()
is that the call in swiotlb_map() uses phys_to_dma() for the device
address, while xen_swiotlb_map_page() uses xen_phys_to_dma().

Would it make sense to move the trace_swiotlb_bounced() call to
swiotlb_tbl_map_single() and then introduce a
swiotlb_tbl_map_single_notrace() function which doesn't do the tracing,
and xen_swiotlb_map_page() can call this?
