This seems dangerous to me.

HYPERVISOR_memory_op() if CONFIG_XEN is undefined?

This seems very unlikely to have been tested in a native build. You should
use cherry-pick-xen in the file.
I generally welcome moving arch/i386/kernel/swiotlb.c to lib/swiotlb-xen.c,
but would appreciate if you then also removed the original file (and perhaps
this should be done as a separate patch, so that it'd be clear that the move
itself doesn't change the file in any way (and if you need changes to it for
the IOMMU patch, have only those changes in the patch here).
