I assume it would be also a problem, too just set the installer to iomm=soft (e.g. via the bootloader)? One last thing perhaps. I'd include a link to the kernel.org bug report in your release notes text and maybe some information that systems might already have some data corruption (as this bug is not new). btw: Is the kernel team now aware of your patch and will it use it in following linux-* packages? i.e. in unstable? Best wishes, Chris.
