[PATCH 0/2] swiotlb-xen fixes

Hi all,
this patch series is just a couple of fixes for swiotlb-xen.

In particular the slow path (bouncing on the swiotlb buffer for dma
operations) on ARM has two problems, each of them fixed by a separate
patch:

- a xen_dma_map_page call is missing in xen_swiotlb_map_sg_attrs;

- dma_capable often fails on ARM because devices don't set the dma_mask
  correctly. This causes swiotlb-xen to take the slow path, and that is
  bad enough, but in xen_swiotlb_map_page also causes the function to
  return an error an fail.



Stefano Stabellini (2):
      swiotlb-xen: add missing xen_dma_map_page call
      swiotlb-xen: xen_swiotlb_map_page: do not error out if dma_capable fails
