Yes that's a good idea.

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.
