Yes, while it is a real fix, the problem it fixes can only happen
with Xen, which is not relevant to riscv. The only other thing I
can think off is that the allocations were always failing on your
board, and the patch makes that failure fatal. For that try the
patch below. I'd also be really curious by now about the kernel
logs from a successful boot.

diff --git a/kernel/dma/swiotlb.c b/kernel/dma/swiotlb.c
