Can you quantify what would be the cost of keeping that code around for IOMMU-less platform?
I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean a number of loc of the passthrough feature for arm?

I meant that disabling something in Xen will come with a cost. While for a driver the maintenance is fairly minimal for anything touching core Xen it will require some more work for any change. So I understand that it will make Xen slightly smaller (~600 lines), but at what cost?

In other words, I am all for disabling unnecessary driver in Xen with some caveats (see my other answers). But I am quite worry on the burden for anything else without any real assessment.
