Yes, as pointed out be several people, that would be better.
The swiotlb_init_with_tbl() didn't exist in earlier kernel versions and
this simplification was missed when I forward ported the patch set.
By using this function, I think the entire patch set will be MIPS
specific, making it unnecessary to touch the generic swiotlb code.
Thanks,
