Just needed to add that this cherry-pick has been found to be a problem.
Where it has been implemented, it has been retracted.

Issue: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/9346
Issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=940932
Debian retraction 0.8.2-1 (unstable), also in 0.8.2-2 (backports) 
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1068877/accepted-zfs-linux-082-2bpo101-source-amd64-all-into-buster-backports/

Although, this certain cherry-pick shouldn't be used, this launchpad bug
should remain open because the lack of SIMD functionality hurts ZFS
performance.  When a corrected fix is released, it should be considered
for backport to 19.10.

Title:
  SIMD broken in 0.8.1 please backport fix, like Debian

Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Eoan Ermine is using 0.8.1.  On the current LiveCD, ZFS uses scalar
  instead of hardware accelerated SIMD instructions.

  As of zfs-linux 0.8.1-3 (unstable) and 0.8.1-4~bpo10+1 (buster-
  backports), Debian has "Cherry-pick e5db313 to fix the linux-SIMD
  compatibility" (https://tracker.debian.org/news/1065134/accepted-zfs-
  linux-081-4bpo101-source-amd64-all-into-buster-backports-buster-
  backports/).

  This fix will be included in 0.8.2, don't expect expect Eoan Ermine to
  move to that release.
