By pulling in a new arch/x86_64/pci-dma-xen.c you are replacing the
implementations of things like dma_alloc_coherent(). These replacements,
being pretty much unmodified from the x86/64 native originals, simply aren't
going to work on Xen. I'm not sure how far we'll need to deviate -- I
suspect we'll end up with a file that look much like the i386/pci-dma-xen.c
but with calls to swiotlb_xxx() replaced with dma_ops->xxx. Maybe we could
even stick with just i386/pci-dma-xen.c and macro up the uses of
swiotlb_xxx() (so that they can be replaced with uses of dma_ops->xxx for
x86/64 by cpp).
