Pkg xen devel - Dec 2016 - Problem with jessie kernel under xen w.r.t. mpt3sas and "swiotlb buffer is full"

Hi,

As reported here:

    https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-12/msg00287.html

The current Debian jessie amd64 kernel is unusable as a Xen dom0 on
a server that uses the mpt3sas driver as it panics within a
few seconds of heavy IO load, complaining "swiotlb is full"

The response from Andrew Cooper linked to two patches:

Those two patches do fix the problem for me.

Does the current testing kernel already include these patches?

Should this be reported as a bug against the kernel in jessie?

Presumably the jessie kernel is not now going to see a fix for this
so would it be useful to have it in the bts in case other jessie
users come across it?

Cheers,
Andy
