Hi Boris:
	Thanks for your review.

Hyper-V allocates its own swiotlb bounce buffer and the default
swiotlb buffer should not be allocated. swiotlb_init() in 
pci_swiotlb_init() is to allocate default swiotlb buffer.
To achieve this, put hyperv_swiotlb_detect() as the first entry in the 
iommu_table_entry list. The detect loop in the pci_iommu_alloc() will 
exit once hyperv_swiotlb_detect() is called in Hyper-V VM and other 
iommu_table_entry callback will not be called.
