Fix looks correct and bug looks painful. I think you should send this
one to mainline immediately.

"... because Xen needs it", otherwise someone is bound to ask why, as
all other archs define _bus as _phys.

Looks good in general, not acking yet because I want to give it a spin
first.

I'm sorry, but this patch is horrible. swiotlb.c is now pretty much
unreadable. I'd be surprised if mainline accepted it - I would
certainly NAK it with my mainline hat on, especially for an unmerged
architecture.
If Xen needs so many "abstractions", I have to ask whether it isn't
better off just using its own swiotlb.c as we are now.
I'll take another look at this later and try to come up with a
different way of merging them that isn't quite this horrible. Maybe
using function pointers for the "low level" operations?
Cheers,
Muli
