I've finally managed to come back to this.
I've recompiled the kernel with the patch.
But now I need some guidance on how (or where to look to find guidance)
on how to rebuild the X-Server for Debian 9 with the patches mentioned.
Should I be pulling some sort of source from repositories on Debian and
building in a specific Debian way or do I need to pull source from an
XOrg site and build from that (in a away Debian 9 works with)?

Hi Zoltán
Thankyou for all that information.
I will have to try and find time to look into those changes. couple
of questions:
1. Can I (or should I) be applying those kernel changes to the same
version of kernel in use by each unit?
The only kernel change quoted was in the mail, a single line was
changed in swiotlb.h
It should apply practically any recent kernel version.
The 3 links contained Xorg server code changes so they need to be applied
to the Xorg X-server sources and rebuilt.
2. Or do the changes have to be made to a more recent kernel version?
3. Also I forgot to mention on one of my units I have a bootup msg of
"KVM disable by BIOS" would that affect any of this?
I don't know. As far as I know, KVM is short for
Keyboard-Video-Mouse switcher and I only used an
external one that the computer had no control over.
If you meant KVM as the Linux kernel VM hypervisor, then no.
Best regards,
