It's either xen_pv_domain() (i.e. hypervisor_is_type(X86_HYPER_XEN_PV)) or hypervisor_is_type(X86_HYPER_MS_HYPERV) but never both. So I don't think there needs to be a dependency between the two callbacks.

Yes, the dependency is between hyperv_swiotlb_detect() and
pci_swiotlb_detect_override()/pci_swiotlb_detect_4gb(). Now
pci_swiotlb_detect_override() and pci_swiotlb_detect_4gb() depends on
pci_xen_swiotlb_detect(). To keep dependency between
hyperv_swiotlb_detect() and pci_swiotlb_detect_override/4gb(), make 
pci_xen_swiotlb_detect() depends on hyperv_swiotlb_detect() and just to
keep order in the IOMMU table. Current iommu_table_entry only has one
depend callback and this is why I put xen depends on hyperv detect function.

Thanks.
