I've put the trace to both locations before swiotlb_tbl_map_single is 
called, so the same tracer will be hit both with classic and Xen 
SWIOTLB. I used 2 different place instead of calling from 
swiotlb_tbl_map_single because I want to print out dev_addr, and it's 
calculated differently.

For me the relevant event was to see when we start to do bounce 
buffering. When does it end, or when syncing happens is a different 
thing. If someone is interested, they can easily extend this patch with 
that.

However one question bothers me: why ftrace doesn't trace these 
functions? They are not inlined, static, or marked as notrace.
