Hi Boris:
Thanks for your review.

Could you explain this change?

Hyper-V allocates its own swiotlb bounce buffer and the default
swiotlb buffer should not be allocated. swiotlb_init() in pci_swiotlb_init() is to allocate default swiotlb buffer.
To achieve this, put hyperv_swiotlb_detect() as the first entry in the iommu_table_entry list. The detect loop in the pci_iommu_alloc() will exit once hyperv_swiotlb_detect() is called in Hyper-V VM and other iommu_table_entry callback will not be called.
