Attached is a patch for adding a new flag xen_pv_pci_possible. You can
either add the patch to your series or merge it into your patch 2.

You need to modify your patch like this:

@@ -111,7 +90,10 @@ static inline void __init pci_xen_swiotlb_init(void)
  void __init pci_iommu_alloc(void)
  {
  	if (xen_pv_domain()) {
-		if (xen_initial_domain() || x86_swiotlb_enable)
+		if (xen_initial_domain() ||
+		    (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND) &&
+		     xen_pv_pci_possible) ||
+		    x86_swiotlb_enable)
  			pci_xen_swiotlb_init();
  		return;
  	}
