How about this, or do you have any suggestions?
diff --git a/arch/arm/xen/mm.c b/arch/arm/xen/mm.c
index d33b77e9add3..f61c29a4430f 100644
--- a/arch/arm/xen/mm.c
+++ b/arch/arm/xen/mm.c
@@ -28,7 +28,11 @@ unsigned long xen_get_swiotlb_free_pages(unsigned int order)

for_each_memblock(memory, reg) {
if (reg->base < (phys_addr_t)0xffffffff) {
+#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64
+ flags |= __GFP_DMA32;
+#else
flags |= __GFP_DMA;

break;
}
}

Thanks,
Peng.
