6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

It's sole user (pci_xen_swiotlb_init()) is __init, too.
This is not true in 6.1 though... which results in:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: pci_xen_swiotlb_init_late (section: .text) -> xen_swiotlb_fixup (section: .init.text)
Perhaps commit f9a38ea5172a ("x86: always initialize xen-swiotlb when xen-pcifront is enabling") and its dependency 358cd9afd069 ("xen/pci: add flag for PCI passthrough being possible") should be added (I did not test if they applied cleanly though) but it seems like a revert would be more appropriate. I don't see this change as a dependency of another one and the reason it exists upstream does not apply in this tree so why should it be here?
Right.
Greg, could you please remove this patch from the stable trees again?
