Becky's patches of last week also added __weak annotations to swiotlb_bus_to_virt, virt_to_bus and bus_to_phys; added the hwdev parameter to swiotlb_bus_to_phys; and added a weak swiotlb_arch_address_needs_mapping. I assume that was needed because powerpc needs non-trivial implementations for those functions.

Hmm, what she added are wrappers of virt_to_bus and bus_to_virt. We
can remove these and directly use virt_to_bus and bus_to_virt.

In general those interfaces are deprecated. Are we un-deprecating them? Or do you mean adding virt<->bus to dma_ops?

About __weak address_needs_mapping function, as I said, removing it
and using dma_map_ops is a proper solution.

Fine. Could swiotlb_alloc() just call dma_alloc_coherent() too?
