Thanks Christian.

I ran tests on both focal and groovy using the linked qemu PPA builds on
s390x with a vfio-pci passthrough mlx adapter.  Since the kernel fix
hasn't hit focal yet, for both scenarios I used the patched groovy
kernel that Frank provided in 1907421 to test the full fix (kernel
advertisement of the DMA limit, which the modified QEMU can then exploit
to ensure the limit isn't overrun).

For testing, I forced data-transfer workloads that could, prior to this
fix, quickly and reliably overrun the DMA space - I left these workloads
run for about 30 minutes each, verifying that were no transfer stalls /
no errors in the QEMU log.  Looks good!
