Hello Stefano and Greg,
Sorry for the late answer. I wrote a simple patch which depend on patch #1.
Let me know if it's the right direction.

ARM: platform_device: dev_archdata: Add xen specific boolean
Until now, every DMA-capable devices are using specific Xen DMA ops when
Linux
is running as DOM0. These DMA ops call swiotlb-xen to bounce buffer.
With the support of IOMMU drivers in Xen, every device protected by IOMMU
must not use swiotlb DMA ops.
This patch introduces a boolean in dev_archdata to indicate if the device
can safely use its own DMA ops or swiotlb ops.
