Did a quick test of HiperSockets and OSA with
add-apt-repository ppa:krzk/linux-testing
apt install linux-image-unsigned-5.4.0-100-generic/focal
Looks good to me.

I did not exercise any memory pressure though. So it makes sense that
Gary tries this with the original (IBM SSC, IDAA) scenario and verifies that
the panic on warning does no longer occur.
