If we do that then all DMA would go through the swiotlb bounce buffers.
By setting swiotlb to 1 we indicate that the bounce buffers will be
needed for those devices that can't support the addressing range when
the encryption bit is set (48 bit DMA). But if the device can support
the addressing range we won't use the bounce buffers.

Yes, the io_tlb_start check can be removed.

Yes, sort of.  The swiotlb late init may not be called.

When swiotlb is allocated in swiotlb_init(), it is too early to make
use of the api to the change the page attributes. Because of this,
the callback to make those changes is needed.

I'm not sure what you mean here, can you elaborate a bit more?
