The flag tells us that the hypervisor maps a grant page to guest
physical address == machine address of the page in addition to the
normal grant mapping address. It is needed to properly issue cache
maintenance operation at the completion of a DMA operation involving a
foreign grant.

Unfortunately this isn't quite complete. On a system where all devices
are behind an SMMU then we would want to be able to disable the 1:1
workaround, which in turn would imply disabling this feature flag too
(since it is no longer necessary and also impossible to implement in
that case).

That is true, but in such a system we would have to tell the kernel that
DMAing is safe, so this will turn into:

if (!xen_feature(XENFEAT_grant_map_11) &&
    !xen_feature(XENFEAT_safe_dma)) {
	pr_warn("Please upgrade your Xen.\n"
			"If your platform has any non-coherent DMA devices, they won't work properly.\n");
}

Oh right, yes. Good then ;-)

I keep reading this as "grant map eleven".  I think you've used this
abbreviation else where so you should probably keep it as-is.

I might have picked XENFEAT_grant_map_identity.

FWIW, I've sent a patch series a couple ago to avoid using swiotlb when
the device is protected (see https://patches.linaro.org/25070/).

I should take time to rework properly and send a new version.
