Yes, although that won't be needed in dom0 (which always has a swiotlb). But
clearly it is *definitely* needed for domU driving the infiniband device.

You definitely need the patch that I posted. If it won't apply cleanly to
your kernel tree then you'll have to manually apply it, or move to the
current 'unstable' linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree.
