At this point, I think these patches are plausible candidates for inclusion into 4.11. Whether they want backporting is a slightly harder matter, as these patches necesserily alter some error values for the get/set_debug_reg() hypercalls.
If however there is objection to these going into 4.11, they can sit in x86-next until the 4.12 window opens.
