The first solution that comes to my mind is to implement a weak function in
swiotlb.c with these contents

dma_addr_t __weak swio_phys_to_dma(struct device *dev, phys_addr_t paddr)
{
        return paddr;
}

 
phys_addr_t __weak  swio_dma_to_phys(struct device *dev, dma_addr_t daddr)
{
        return daddr;
}

then clean up all the duplicates in dma-mapping.h for all ARCHs that have
identical code. 

For others move the implementation to some source file.
