x86/x86-64 also needs this fix. Please check the pci_swiotlb_init for x86/64.

This check can not be removed. Otherwise, swiotlb_dma_ops will always override
previous dma_ops value.

I think you can change this check to something like:
	if (!dma_ops || iommu_pass_through) {
With this change, checking iommu_detected is unnecesary because checking dma_ops
covers it.
